Hi,
I have attached a mail by Ben Gertzfield below. The original question was
about kernel modules but the 'kernel-package' handles all the things
related to building a custom kernel, not only the modules.
This is the way I built my kernel and it worked very well. The
'kernel-package' can be found from the misc section. After you have
made your new custom kernel you can install it with 'dpkg -i
/usr/src/your_new_kernel.deb'.

If you use the 'kernel-package' Debian package, things will work
exactly this way.
You just run make menuconfig/config/xconfig/whatever, and then run:
make-kpkg --revision whatever.1.0 kernel_image
(you can replace 'whatever' with whatever ;)
and voila! you'll have a new .deb package of your kernel and modules
and other assorted goodies in /usr/src. :)
