There are 'likely' variables which can be supplied on the command line or as an environment variables used by the kernel's Makefile. You can search the Makefiles for such 'variables'.

This file is used to configure the the make-kpkg command made available with the kernel-package.

So you can not expect the "make deb-pkg" to have the same behavior as "make-kpkg".

On the Debian user mailing list was a link to an unofficial how to make custom kernels with make-kpkg. Defiantly worth the read...

Note: Custom kernels are not supported by the Debian community, especially if it contains any non-free or proprietary content.
