If you copy your module directly into the source tree, then you need
to download a new kernel source tree and unpack it due to kernel
maintenance, you lose your modifications. By keeping the out-of-kernel-
source-tree modules in a separate directory, /usr/src/modules/...,
you don't lose your modifications. You download and unpack the
new kernel source, rebuild both packages, and install both packages.
Simple.
P.S. Angus: sorry for the inadvertent private e-mail earlier.
I accidentally clicked on the wrong button.
