Testing anything on my thinkpad (with ubuntu) is a pain.. it takes more than an hour to compile/test a single image... I currently follow below steps for doing that, don't know if something much simpler/faster is available :)

Whole day I was able to boot test only 4-5 kernel builds. Its too slow :(
Why do you create .deb packages to test development kernels? It _is_ slow.
Instead I'd just add a new grub menu entry to /boot/grub/grub.cfg and point it to /boot/MyzImage. After a 'make install; make modules_install' just link /boot/MyzImage to the installed kernel in /boot. And then generate a new initramfs using 'update-initramfs -c -k <ver>'
