Use your favourite Debian method to get the packages: kernel-source-2.x.x and kernel-package. kernel-source-2.x.x should create a directory called /usr/src/kernel-source-2.x.x, which you can symlink to /usr/src/linux if you wish. From there, you can read /usr/doc/kernel-package/README.gz for more information with respect to actually compiling the kernel. Good luck, and have fun. Simon.
