That's a lot of extra work and makes a deb package of a kernel. You
don't need to do that.
Basically:
copy a config from /boot to .config
cp /boot/config-$VERSION .config
make oldconfig (optional)
make menuconfig (optional)
make
make modules
make modules_install
make install
update-grub
Someone may say some of that is unnecessary or redundant. Whatever.
Basically make install calls a distro hook which puts the kernel in the
right place.
