I have found a solution. There is a script: 

scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh

It allows to mix many configuration files in a base config. For example:

scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh -m -r .config
~/kernel/conf_mixins/.config_deb

There are kernel options in .config_deb that include some debugging to the 
kernel
default .config.
