recommended way to build upstream kernel for ubuntu

[Christoph Mathys]

Which is the recommended way to build my own kernel from kernel.org
source on ubuntu? I need header, kernel+modules and occasionally debug
symbols.

The web is full of documentation about make-kpkg. There are a couple
of wiki pages for ubuntu that document how to rebuild the ubuntu
package for the kernel. I use make-kpkg, which works more or less
after a few "lessons learnd", but maybe there is a way of similar
simplicity which "just works"? I'm also a bit unsure if kernel-package
is still maintained, or if this is a dead end.
