It is when you can get GRE, IPSEC, or vserver patches that are
known to merge cleanly against a recent kernel.

Another advantage of make-kpkg is that it wraps all the extra
commands you need to build and install a kernel.

You can still download the kernel source from a debian mirror and
skip the make-kpkg part. The only difference from grabbing from
kernel.org would be that less keystrokes are involved.
