AFAIK apt & friends will quite happily upgrade your kernel, if there is
a new version of the currently installed kernel package (which doesn't
happen too often).

It's not going to 'upgrade' you from 2.2 to 2.4 though, if that is what
you were expecting?

The distributed modular kernels are fine for most purposes, and I'd
suggest sticking with an appropriate flavour of one of these if it works
for you. 

The debian make-kpkg scripts are good, especially if you are running
lots of patches, additional modules and other random cruft.  I do on
some machines, and it's useful for ensuring you build everything and
install everything together.
