To be honest, I only found out about oldconfig a few months ago.
.. ;-) And I need to get time to learn the Debian way. ;-)
The Debian way is really a piece of cake.
..patching too? How about Netfilter Patch-O-Matic?
--added-patches foo
--added_patches foo
The argument should be a comma separated list of additional
patches to the kernel sources. This automatically sets the
patch_the_kernel configuration option to YES.

In the above, ALL_PATCH_DIR defaults to a subdirectory of
/usr/src/kernel-patches/.
Step 1: cp /boot/config-<kernel version> .config && make oldconfig
Step 2 (optional): make menuconfig (to change and tweak options)
Step 3: fakeroot make-kpkg clean
Step 4: fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version=<add something> --revision=<today's date> kernel_image kenel_headers
Install the resulting .deb with dpkg and viola.
..yeah, I know I sound like an idiot. ;-)
The most difficult aspect is getting past the initial psychological fear. My first 6 months using Debian I was petrified of trying to recompile a new kernel. After I finally took the plunge, I wondered why I had been so scared.
