Lately, I've just been getting my kernels from kernel.org. There are a
few Debian patches you get if you apt-get your kernel, but I don't have
any use for them. You can still use make-kpkg with vanilla kernel
sources.

(they should start publishing kernel sources on kernel.org as bittorrent
files, IMO).

But if you do want to use apt-get, you should apt-get install
kernel-source. If you apt-get source kernel-image, I believe you get the
source to a kernel image that's been compiled according to the config
options of the particular kernel image that you're getting the source
for. I.e., if you just want to rebuild a kernel identical to how it is in
the Debian archive, apt-get source kernel-image, but if you want to build
a custom kernel apt-get install kernel-source.

At least that's been my experience.
