Joseph, I am not sure what exactly is going wrong, but this is correct for most other distros, and I bumped my head against it for a while too.
I got the kernel-package deb and used the make-kpkg command to build my own kernels successfully. Here's the basics: apt-get install kernel-package cd to kernel source make xconfig make-kpkg clean make-kpkg kernel_image This will create a kernel deb file in ../ and you can use dpkg to install it. For the i386 version, there is also a make-kpkg modules_image that returns nothing for me on an Ultra, but when I install the new kernel, all of my modules are there.
