The kernel-package readme file explains how to prevent that, near the end of a lengthy discussion under "Versions and revisions": So, try using an epoch for your custom packages: $Get_Root make-kpkg --revision=3:custom.1.0 kernel_image (Get_Root is whatever you need to become root -- fakeroot or sudo are examples that come to mind). The trick is that "3:custom.whatever" will "always" be higher than any debian-provided kernel package, so apt and dselect won't try to upgrade it for you.
