You could also grab the raw source and use kernel-package
package to generate your new image package. This is the recommended
method for generating custom kernel images.

The self compiled kernel, if you do it using kernel-package
package, will also "Provide" kernel-image.

This is true about kernel version.

No, since if you follow the recommended method of generating
kernel images, this will work.
