Depends on what other packages you installed. At least in Woody, the C
compiler and kernel-package do not depend on libc6-dev. ncurses-dev
(for menuconfig) and tcl8.3-dev/tk8.3-dev (for xconfig) do. If you are
not sure, just install build-essential and kernel-package.

kernel-package does not contain the kernel-source. kernel-package
contains the make-kpkg program that allows you to easily build Debian
packages for kernel image, headers, documentation and much more.

In Debian you have to install some kernel source package, like
kernel-source-2.4.18 (in Woody). This will place an archive
(kernel-source-2.4.18.tar.bz2) in your /usr/src directory. To compile
the kernel, you have to uncompress the archive first.
