You must have recompiled the same kernel version that you were
running, and the old modules were still around. So the scsi/*.o files
were from the older compile. Mind you, make-kpkg warns you about this
at install time.
From the kernel-package README file:
______________________________________________________________________
There is a caveat: If you already have kernel 2.0.29 installed,
and you have a freshly created custom 2.0.29 kernel, just installing
the new 2.0.29 kernel shall install modules (as it should) in
/lib/modules/2.0.29, which is where the old modules were! If you have
added or removed modules relative to the old 2.0.29 kernel (very
likely if your old kernel was the default gigantic generic kernel),
then you shall have a mish-mash of modules in /lib/modules/2.0.29 ;-(
Unfortunately, there is no reasonable solution; I suggest moving the
old modules directory before installation, like so (need to be root):
# mv /lib/modules/2.0.29 /lib/modules/2.0.29.save
# dpkg -i kernel-image-2.0.29_custom.1.0_i386.deb
and later get rid of the .save directory.
People who want to have multiple flavours of the same kernel version
around should look at the file /usr/doc/kernel-package/Flavours.gz for
details (Note: This involves modifying the kernel sources top level
Makefile; not recommended unless you are *sure* you need it).
______________________________________________________________________
You should also look at CONFIG_MODVERSIONS option for kernel
configuration.
______________________________________________________________________
CONFIG_MODVERSIONS
Usually, modules have to be recompiled whenever you switch to a new
kernel. Enabling this option makes it possible, and safe, to use
the same modules even after compiling a new kernel; this requires
the program modprobe. All the software needed for module support is
in the modules package (check the file Documentation/Changes for
location and latest version). NOTE: if you say Y here but don't
have the program genksyms (which is also contained in the above
mentioned modules package), then the building of your kernel will
fail. If you are going to use modules that are generated from
non-kernel sources, you would benefit from this option. Otherwise
it's not that important. So, N ought to be a safe bet.

I did some heavy research so as to be prepared for "Mommy, why is the
sky blue?" HE asked me about black holes in space. (There's a hole
*where*?) I boned up to be ready for, "Why is the grass green?" HE
wanted to discuss nature's food chains. (Well, let's see, there's
ShopRite, Pathmark...) I talked about Choo-Choo trains. HE talked
internal combustion engines. (The INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE said, "I
think I can, I think I can.") I was delighted with the video game
craze, thinking we could compete as equals. HE described the
complexities of the microchips required to create the graphics. Then
puberty struck. Ah, adolescence. HE said, "Mom, I just don't
understand women." (Gotcha!) Betty LiBrizzi, "The Care and Feeding of
a Gifted Child"
