Why are there - as of 2011.02.16 - no pre-compiled kernel images in Debian
more recent than 2.6.32? Not even in "experimental"?

I have a netbook that I have freshly installed Debian unstable and there are
known issues with xserver-xorg-video-intel and the 2.6.32 kernel. I want to
run a more recent kernel and I have compiled from source downloaded from
kernel.org in the past and created a *.deb and installed for my local system
... but then I lose all those useful Debian kernel patches.

Most recent stable version is 2.6.37. What are some preferred methods used
by Debian users to run more recent kernels?
