If they compiled the upstream alsa drivers they probably used an upstream kernel too. People who tried to compile against a Debian kernel would be more likely to use the debian alsa source package, so they complained in the Debian BTS instead. > > It looks > > as if you need to replace some of the upstream configure checks with > > Debian-specific ones. kmod.h is supplied by a Debian package, but the > > configure script can't find it: > > No, the build against a vanilla compiled kernel is absolutely clean > and suceeded.

It certainly knows all about the headers-*-common and headers-*-arch packages because it downloads them if they aren't already installed. I think the problem is because the alsa package finds the headers in some way of its own (I'm not used to module packages having configure scripts) that isn't compliant with debian kernels, but I can't find docs about how you're supposed to prepare kernel module debs.
