Nobody had built such a package. Anyhow, I have now built this package
to accompany version 3.1.10-1 of pcmcia-cs, and I have uploaded it to
Incoming.
Please keep in mind that I'm not the only person in the world who can
build PCMCIA packages. The PCMCIA sources work with make-kpkg and are
not very difficult to use. They don't require debhelper or any other
special stuff to build (unlike the kernel-image-2.2.14-compact source).
Therefore, if someone is building a kernel-image-2.2.14-compact package,
which could be installed on laptops, then he SHOULD also build a
pcmcia-modules-2.2.14-compact package to accompany it, or at the very
least, he should tell me about this package, so that I can build the
pcmcia-modules package.
I'm sorry to complain, but nobody ever tells me ANYTHING! I have a
life; I don't have time to scan the distribution every week or so to see
whether somebody has uploaded a new kernel-image package.

Well, the pcmcia-modules-2.2.14-compact has been built and uploaded to
go into unstable. I'll leave it to the archive maintainers to decide
whether it should also be shifted over into frozen.
