It is maybe harder in the beginning, but once you get used to it is really easier in my opinion. Why? Because you can easily go back to previously built kernels; you still have the .debs in /usr/src, so it makes it rather flexible.
And yes, I've got xawtv running using 2.6.5 if I am correct (I am not at home right now so I cannot check to make 100% sure). Just compiled it in, no big problems. I have a Hauppauge WinTV PCI (bt848). Good luck!
