I'm a little unclear what you're asking...

...but this is the default you get if you use make-kpkg normally. You
can change the version number of the kernel using the
--append-to-version option if you want to;
make-kpkg --revision=1 --append-to-version=-watertown kernel-image
will generate a kernel-image-$KVERS-watertown package where 'uname -r'
returns $KVERS-watertown, the kernel is in
/boot/vmlinuz-$KVERS-watertown, and modules are in
/lib/modules/$KVERS-watertown (where $KVERS is the version of the
kernel, e.g. 2.4.20).
