It's sane to do it the
  cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config && make oldconfig
way, so the OP does understand what's going on and the
  /boot/config-$(uname -r)
could be replaced to use any other wanted config, instead the one of the
running kernel. I even didn't know that make-kpkg does it automatically.
I would recommend to edit the config, to fit to the OP's machine before
running oldconfig.

  # e.g. for Opteron/Athlon64/Hammer/K8
  echo "CONFIG_MK8=y" >> /path/to/.config
 
  # e.g. 32-bit only
  # HIGHMEM from 4G to 64G
  echo "CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G is not set" >> /path/to/.config
  echo "CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G=y" >> /path/to/.config

2 Cents,
Ralf
