The debian way, and it is quite simple.  Install the kernel-package 
package.  This will give you a comnmand called make-kpkg.

Untar a normal kernel (kernel.org or whatever), run make menuconfig as 
normal, then when done you can use make-kpkg -kernel_image to build the 
.deb.  Then dpkg -i the resulting package (in the parent directory of 
your linux kernel source, usually /usr/src).

There are other options and such, but for a single machine there isn't 
much to worry about (unless you want to build 3rd party modules).
