Since this is a simple driver with few dependencies, it seems to be as
simple as
1) get a recent kernel source with the driver you want. Mainline is
fine, but you are safer if you stick with a stable release matching
the Debian kernel you want to build it for.
2) Install Debian kernel headers:
apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
3) build the module:
cd /where/you/put/the/kernelsrc
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build SUBDIRS=`pwd`/drivers/hid/i2c-hid
CONFIG_I2C_HID=m
4) optionally copy the resulting module to /lib/modules
mkdir -p /lib/modules/`uname -r`/extra
cp drivers/hid/i2c-hid/i2c-hid.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/extra/
depmod -a
5) load it manually, or reboot to have it autoloaded if you've got the
ACPI device

Which of course is much better. But the above should work until this is
available.
