Yes you can, by getting the source code from kernel.org.
If you simply copy the config from the Debians kernel, then IIRC
# make-kpkg --initrd kernel-image kernel-headers
won't use the Debians naming, but name the package and the output for
uname -r and any string else as the original kernel.org name is.
