Try
make-kpkg -r=custom.1.0 kernel_image
in /usr/src/linux, assuming that you have kernel-package installed.
You may need a preformatted disk, depending upon the current state of
kernel-package. After you create the official debian package, then
install the package as usual
dpkg -i kernel-image-2.0.27_custom.1.0_i386.deb
or whatever you produce.
