IIRC the kernel source package is UN-CONFIGURED by default.  If you want to 
compile your own kernel with the same options as the pre-compiled version, 
simply:

sudo cp /boot/config-2.6.10-5-386 /usr/src/linux/.config

The file in /boot may have a slightly different name depending on your 
architecture, but this file contains the kernel configuration options for the 
pre-compiled kernel.

Of course, once the .config file is in /usr/src/linux, you can edit it with 
your preferred method (make config/menuconfig/xconfig/etc) to customise your 
kernel.  You may also want the install the "kernel-package" package which is 
the "debian-way" of rolling your own kernels and integrating them into the 
package database :)

HTH,
