Turns out this is a false alarm. :(

I still had a hacked-up linux-kbuild-2.6.29 installed from when it
wasn't available from the archive nor from
kernel-archive.buildserver.net. After upgrading to the version now
available in sid, both the VMware and DRM kernel modules build out of
the box.

So I guess consider this another request for providing linux-kbuild-*
packages immediately wherever they're referenced by any linux-headers-*
packages.
