Over time, there are more and more dependencies to install to be able to compile linux.

In `.config`, enable or disable like this:

# enable
CONFIG_KERNEL_XZ=y
# disable
# CONFIG_KERNEL_LZO is not set

Disabled options not in this format are considered missing and the makefile will add them as new options.

Install needed packages and clone linux git repo:

apt-get install flex bc debhelper libelf-dev pahole
git clone -depth=1 https://github.com/torvalds/linux
cd linux

Configure and build:

cp /boot/config-5.18.0-4-amd64 .config
# disable as many as modules as possible
make menuconfig

make -j10 deb-pkg
# it failed to compile with -10, continue with:
make deb-pkg

Install the new kernel, it sets up GRUB:

dpkg -i ../linux-image-6.7.0-rc6+_6.7.0-rc6-g3f82f1c3a036-4_amd64.deb
reboot

Choose the `Advanced options for Debian GNU/Linux` menu and then the kernel to boot.
