Package: fglrx-kernel-src
Version:  8.28.8-0-1

Bug 1: make.sh complained about a missing link:
Link /lib/modules/2.6.16-2-k7/build does not exist (or is not a link)

Solution:
I did miss to install the header package, it took me some time to find this, maybe a package dependency or a better error message in the make.sh and README's would be very nice.

Bug 2: After i was able to build the module i copied it and tried to load it:
modprobe -v fglrx
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.16-2-k7/misc/fglrx.ko
FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.16-2-k7/misc/fglrx.ko): Invalid module format

Solution:
The kernel was compiled with "4.0", but i have "4." install. However the make.sh script seems only to look for "4". After manually workaround the make.sh to take 4.0 gcc i was able to load the module.

PS:
After all it would maybe a good idea to have something fully automated so that installing the "fglrx-kernel-src" would be enough and everything would be done by the .deb scripts.

Thanks,
Patrick
