in a 2.6 kernel, typing make help gives this information:

"install       - Install kernel using
                   (your) ~/bin/installkernel or
                   (distribution) /sbin/installkernel or
                   install to $(INSTALL_PATH) and run lilo"

/sbin/installkernel is from the debianutils package, so not
surprisinglly it installs the kernel as debian would expect to find it.
man installkernel or head /sbin/installkernel for more info. 

This seems to install the kernel as /boot/vmlinuz-version with a link to
that from /boot/vmlinuz, and the old kernel moved to /boot/vmlinuz.old. 

Is that what you see when you run make install Bastian?
