With my experiances what you did is ok. I dont think that it matters what sources you got the kernel from. Now i might be wrong seeing how im kinds of new to debian but Im pretty sure its just like downloading your own kernel and installing it. So dont worry to much and also wait for other replies =)

IIRC, someone in an earlier posting last year said that Debian separated their kernel upgrades and distro upgrades by design. I doubt that you need to go back to an earlier version of the kernel which probably has all the latest fixes.
