There's one written by Jon Oxer hiding on Linmagau somewhere.

One amendment I'd make to that page is that rather than building it as
root, I prefer to untar the kernel sources in my home directory and pass
the "--rootcmd fakeroot" option to make-kpkg, which will allow it to
build the kernel .deb without needing root privs.
