newer kernel versions require bison and flex as dependencies. elbe
debianize will generate a debian/ folder for you. In debian/control add
bison and flex to the build dependencies (-> Build-Depends). That should
solve your problem.

Right, that is the second solution for getting a custom kernel into an
elbe build.
