There was a discussion regarding the kernel-debian-logo-patch before. Here
is what I found out (my original mail to debian-user):

O.K., after a lot of testing I found out how to install a kernel-patch the
right way.
Here is what I did:
install the kernel-source-2.2.20.tar.bz2
install the kernel-patch-debianlogo
tar xvfj kernel-source-2.2.20.tar.bz2
ln -s /usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.20/ /usr/src/linux
cd /usr/src/linux
Regrading man make-kpkg and /usr/share/doc/kernel-source-2.2.20/debian.README.gz
you have to add "patch_the_kernel=YES" in /etc/kernel-pkg.conf
Now run:
fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=3:custom.1.0 --config=menuconfig kernel_image
and the patch will be included.

The --added-patches option is set to give you the chance to choose a
special/single patch if there are existing more of them
