In that case I'd recommend you install dwww and newbiedoc. In newbiedoc
see the section about compiling custom kernels The Debian Way.
If you try it you'll be hooked.
The command that looked strange to you is not to build a kernel or the
modules from kernel sources, but to build debs from the sources in
/usr/src/modules (one deb per subdirectory).
I have trouble with the nvidia-glx too.
