kernel-headers is built from the kernel source itself - you don't need
a separate source package for it.

The best approach for building custom kernels for Debian is to install
"kernel-package" and read the documentation.  It's a pretty simple
process using the "make-kpkg" tool to build .deb packages from vanilla
kernel source (and well explained in the docs).
