It is documented (some where it should be), that in order to be able
to rebuild a .deb package you need the source package for it.

When you install kernel-source, you get the documentation and mentions
for the make-kpkg command and that it is provided by kernel-package in
the:

/usr/doc/kernel-source<version>/debian.README.gz

Also there is a mention regarding the module errors, and that they
belong to the kernel, not to the debian specific version of it.

We (he, he, ups) ... they can't make it standard, because it is not
really needed, and it is not probable that someone how is *nix
trained, expect it to be on his/her box.
