You don't have a kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2.4 package installed even though you have all the files; they are part of basic installation. To remake the kernel image, just do it (using make-kpkg and the bf2.4 config and specifying --append-to-version=-bf2.4), but you don't really want to do that, do you? If you want to use *most* of the same config but change a few items yourself, when you make-kpkg use another --append-to-version value. This is explained in the newbiedoc. The kernel-image will have its own name, none of the files will conflict, and the package manager will know all about it.
