I would think you should be able to script this yourself.
A rough procedure:
- Install the linux-source-2.6 package. This ensures that you will
always have the most recent kernel source version installed.
- Use a cron script to check for changes in
/usr/src/linux-source-*.tar.bz2 files
(or maybe better: check installed package versions)
- If there is a new one or an updated one:
- extract
- copy current /boot/config-* to .config
- make sure patches are available as supported by make-kpkg
- run 'make oldconfig' (may ask questions; you'll have to work out
how to handle that
- use make-kpkg to build
- send notification by mail that new kernel is available
