Why not just get the sources and use kernel-package to make your own
custom kernel package?
Description: Debian Linux kernel package build scripts.
This package provides the capability to create a debian kernel-image
package by just running make-kpkg kernel_image in a kernel source
directory tree.
It is fairly easy to use. Just go into the kernel directory, make
menuconfig (or X config or whatever you do to configure your kernel),
make-kpkg --revision [custom name] binary-arch. For me it is make-kpkg
--revision teleute.x binary-arch. x being the revision of that kernel
and teleute is the machine name for the which the kernel is being
compiled.
