I cannot help you with the debian way... that I found more complex than the 
regular way.

Download a pristine kernel (get 2.6.0-test2)
cd /usr/src
Untar kernel in /usr/src
mv linux linux~
ln -s linux-2.6.0-test2 linux
make menuconfig or make xconfig
make
make modules_install
Put bzimage in /boot, rename it vmlinuz-2.6.0-test2
Update lilo or grub
reboot

PS
I assume you have the proper entries in fstab (for sysfs) and the new package 
to handle modules (if not to this last one do apt-get instal 
modules-init-tools)

PPS
Check and post your questions to the kernel mailing list... you are more 
likely to get help there.
