The thing you must realize is if those symbols are no present in your
kernel then there is nothing you can do to make that module work.
recompiling that module will not help - you must rebuild the kernel to
have those symbols included.
For instance, in this case you may not have mod versions enabled, it might
be possible to convice ntfs to build without them and it might work, but
it is equally good for you to compile your kernel with mod versions
enabled to make the stock debian module work.
