roughly:
* apt-get install build-essential libncurses5-dev kernel-package
* grab sources: http://debian.pengutronix.de/debian/pool/non-free/l/linux-2.6/linux-2.6_2.6.33.7.2-rt30.orig.tar.gz
Note that you can't verify the sources as no signature file is provided (bad)
...or simply grab a verified kernel from kernel.org and the appropriate patch
* unpack sources
* copy the config file to .config in the kernel source tree.
* make menuconfig and add the driver you need
* adjust /etc/kernel-pkg.conf (atleast maintainer and email - so you get blamed if you screwed up ;)
* compile and sign package: CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=4 make-kpkg --pgpsign YOURNAME --initrd --append-to-version=-nouveau --revision=2.6.33.7 kernel-image kernel-source
Notes:
* Note that you get a build failure on lenny as it does not find the utsreleas version in the right location for newer kernels (newer than 2.6.26 that is) so you have to manually cp include/generated/utsrelease.h include/linux/utsrelease.h and rerun the make-kpkg command
* provide package AND sginature to the users of this package.
* CONCURRENCY_LEVEL is just like -j4 here - so adjust to what is suitable for your compile box
* the "--append-to-version=" is the string that will be added to the kenrle package so that you have a kernel package at the end called linux-image-2.6.33.7.2-rt30-nouveau_2.6.33.7_ARCH.deb
* the name that you pass with --pgpsign must be the same as you get when you use gpg --list-keys

man make-kpkg
