Well, as far as I can tell it runs "make oldconfig" each time. At least whenever I ran make-kpkg, it took almost an hour, the full compilation time, I don't know why - I thought it was due to the configuration. Besides that, kernel-package is working great and the resulting kernel boots fine. By "black magic" I mean it does a whole lot of stuff that I don't understand ;-) Anyway, I found out why make deb-pkg creates so large files: the kernel was build with debug information, and kernel-package obviously strips it away somehow. So after disabling DEBUG_INFO, everything works as expected and the initrd is even much smaller than the one shipped with Debian (I disabled a lot of stuff I don't need).
