I've been modifying the Debian installer for the first release of SprezzOS. It's been quite the PITA.

Build environment

debootstrap --variant buildd http://ftp.us.debian.org unstable
apt-get source debian-installer

Custom kernel

apt-get source linux-2.6
- apt-get install linux-source-3.2 gets you a /usr/src tarball with no debian/ subdirectory
- apt-get install linux-source gets you something called 'linux_latest' (investigate!)
cd linux-2.6-3.2.14 or whatever
dpkg-buildpackage -j8

output includes a full set of udebs

cp *udeb DIROOT/build/localudebs
add their names to new file DIROOT/build/pkg-lists/local
