I favor Ubuntu in my machines because it has so streamlined kernel workflow, which lends itself to testing new upstream patches (even among Debian derivatives).

So to test my next branch I just need to do pretty trivial steps to get a properly packaged distro kernel:

git fetch --no-tags git://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel-test/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/mainline-crack refs/tags/cod/mainline/v6.3-rc7:refs/tags/cod/mainline/v6.3-rc7
git checkout next
git checkout -b next-test
git merge cod/mainline/v6.3-rc7
LANG=C fakeroot debian/rules clean
LANG=C fakeroot debian/rules binary-headers binary-generic

In my experience even in archlinux test kernel packaging is more involved than ubuntu.
