If it turns out one of the precompiled Debian kernel images does not
suit your needs for some reason, luckily as you are using Debian some
simple tools are provided to allow simplified kernel building.
Essentially tools are provided to allow you to put together your own
kernel packages. 

Take a look at the debian 'make-kpkg' package and the kernel source
packages. But thats something to work on when the need arises.
