I'm not at all clear what this previous command does. the normal set
of build instructions at this point is very simple

make && make modules_install

Even if that isn't the 'Debian' way, is it possible to build and
install a kernel as the kernel designers intended it or does that not
work on Debian?

Maybe there's another Debian user here who can help you. I'm Gentoo
based and it's pretty straight forward here.
