Maybe you could simply use the kernel-source-2.x.y packages with the
default configuration of the kernel-image packages? It doesn't save you
from compiling the kernel, but that's as close as you can get to the
standard distribution kernel.

Sorry, don't know a clean way to do that.
You could hack every single init script, but they would be overwritten
on every upgrade and you'd still see kernel messages. Another option
might be to specify some resolution that your framebuffer/graphic device
doesn't handle. At least I had cases, where my framebuffer was
completely black - but X worked as expected. Not the brightest ideas,
sorry.
