Not true. After getting the git repo, do:

export CURRENT_VER="Ubuntu-$(cat /proc/version_signature | sed 's/Ubuntu \(.*\)-[^-]*$/\1/')"
export CURRENT_FLAVOUR="$(uname -r | sed 's/.*-\([^-]*\)$/\1/')"
git-branch $CURRENT_VER my_kernel
git-checkout -f my_kernel
fakeroot debian/rules binary-debs flavours=$CURRENT_FLAVOUR

The kernel will end up in debian/build/, and will be built from the same
source and config as your running kernel.
