You need some packages to compile a kernel, from an outdated script I'm
still using:

apt-get update
apt-get install fakeroot build-essential crash kexec-tools makedumpfile kernel-package kernel-wedge
apt-get install libncurses5 libncurses5-dev libelf-dev asciidoc binutils-dev

Not all are needed, but to install all of them doesn't harm.

Get the kernel and patches from
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/[snip]

tar -jxf linux-foo.tar.bz2

>From time to time you need to cd ;).

Perhaps you need to patch
bzip2 -dc ../patch-foo.patch.bz2 | patch -p1

Get your current configuration by
cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config

This might be useful too
# e.g. set to CONFIG_MK8=y (Opteron/Athlon64/Hammer/K8), command out for default
echo "CONFIG_MK8=y" >> .config
 
# 32-bit only
# HIGHMEM from 4G to 64G
# echo "CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G is not set" >> .config
# echo "CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G=y" >> .config
but it's not needed.

Then I run
make oldconfig

you need to run
make menuconfig
or similar to do the settings.

make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd kernel-image kernel-headers

# Installing new packages
make-kpkg clean
dpkg -i ../linux-image-foo-10.00.Custom_*.deb
dpkg -i ../linux-headers-foo-10.00.Custom_*.deb
