I built a new kernel yesterday. Modern distros streamline the task a great deal.

Yup, compiling and installing (in a distro-friendly manner that smoothly integrates with the rest of the system) your own kernel on Debian is almost trivial using "make-kpkg".

Most people don't have the need, of course, but if you do, it's not hard.
