Sounds like you want to dig up a copy of the current kernel .config, and
have it as a reference.
If you have it, I'd recommend learning the debian way to make kernel
packages, which can be learned with man make-kpkg, but boils down to
unpacking the kernel source, then make-kpkg --revision your1 kernel-image
(or, if you want the whole kit & caboodle, change kernel-image to binary)
it's fun
