I'm also using Debian. That is not true at all. The guide on the Kernel Newbies Website [1] works flawlessly. The only downside would be, that in case you decide to remove a build you have to delete the image, modules, etc. by hand and additionaly run update-grub whereas creating a package does that for you.
