I believe, the best way is just to deinstall package "linux-image-amd64".

So you can let debian the actual debian kernel installed, but it won't 
overwrite and renew the actual kernels at upgrade/full-upgrade.

This has the advantage, you have either an old kernel at hand if something 
goes bad, and you can easily install a kernel from the debian repo
, if needed. It is never a bad idea, to have a working kernel at hand.

When you build your own kernel, take care of the version number, so that will 
not be overwritten by apt (if you build a kernel package of your own and not 
just simply built and install the kernel via a script or manually)

Have fun!

Best regards
