403. Kernel 3.9 on Debian Wheezy/Testing

Kernel 3.9 is out now -- here's how to build it on debian wheezy. Nothing odd in comparison to earlier versions and it barely warrants a separate post.

* To compile a kernel under Arch linux, see here: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/355-kernel-382-on-arch-linux-exploration.html

* To compile a kernel without kernel-package on debian, see here: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2013/02/344-compile-kernel-38-without-using-kpkg.html

So it begins
sudo apt-get install kernel-package fakeroot build-essential ncurses-dev
mkdir ~/tmp
cd ~/tmp
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/linux-3.9.tar.bz2
tar xvf linux-3.9.tar.bz2
cd linux-3.9/
cat /boot/config-`uname -r`>.config
make oldconfig

You will be asked a lot of questions -- how many depends on what version you upgrade from. If in doubt, pick the default answer (i.e. hit enter). If really in doubt, use google.

Then continue:
make-kpkg clean

Do
make menuconfig

if you want to make any specific changes to the kernel (e.g. add support for certain devices)

Then continue:
time fakeroot make-kpkg -j4 --initrd kernel_image kernel_headers

As usual 4 is the number of threads you wish to launch -- make it equal to the number of cores that you have for optimum performance during compilation (more about that here).

Install:
sudo dpkg -i ../linux-image-3.9.0_3.9.0-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb ../linux-headers-3.9.0_3.9.0-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb


The new stuff
I know it's a bit lazy to simply post the questions as I do below, but...well, I don't have much of an excuse other than you having to figure out for yourself what you want to enable, and what you don't.:
