You can get the configuration files of your installed kernels from your /boot directory. Just copy the config file to .config, add the command --config oldconfig when building with make-kpkg and it will prompt you with the new options. You can also add the edgy repository and install a kernel from there. The linux-restricted-modules package may or may not be up-to-date. I installed
linux-image-2.6.17-4-amd64-k8 and linux-image-2.6.17-5-amd64-k8 but found no initrd image in the former and some problems when building the nvidia driver with the latter, and finally only used them to get the config file from /boot and built my own.
