You need the "dev" package as well, if I remember correctly.
	apt-get install libncurses5-dev

There's a full list of required packages here:
http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html#INSTALL-KERNEL-PKG

Not sure which are unique to The Debian Way but it lists the following:
gcc kernel-package kernel-source-2.4.18 libc6-dev tk8.3 libncurses5-dev 
fakeroot

There's also a note about 2.2 series kernels:
If you're compiling a 2.2 series kernel for the PC architecture (machines
with AMD processors are PCs, but not Macs or Alphas) you'll need the bin86
package.
