this one compiles kernel and produces

linux-headers-*.deb
linux-image-*.deb

linux-image contains kernel and internal modules

you have to install first linux-headers, so dkms can compile external modules
(such as nvidia), and then install linux-image which will compile external
modules, create initrd, install kernel and initrd in /boot, install all
modules in /lib/modules

Does this method also create the modules?

All are installed with those commands, thanks Debian :)

 apt build-dep linux
 apt install build-essential libncurses-dev
 (last one for running menuconfig with ncurses)

To compile 6.5 I do

apt build-dep linux
apt install build-essential libncurses-dev
(last for running menuconfig with ncurses)
make menuconfig
make bindeb-pkg
