Huh? that's exactly where the modules are going. Where does
make-kpkg put the modules on your machine?

This is quite confused. The reason we have to run make-kpkg as
root is the same reason that we have to run dgpkg-buildpackage
as root (both these programs also acccomodate fakeroot et al and only
run as root when needed).
If I have misunderstood something, please tell me were I have
gone astray.
