Well, if you applied a patch to an earlier kernel source tree, then your
config stays the same, if you untar a new tree then you can copy the
.config from the root of the old tree into the root of the new tree.
As Gus said about a week ago in the kernel-package thread, the .deb
contains /boot/config-<version>, which you can copy to .config in your
new tree as well.
