Yes, I see now. He orphaned it (bug #88115), but didn't make an upload with
the maintainer set to QA. What I think he meant to do was file an RFA bug,
seeking a new maintainer.
As for building the new packages, I suggest looking at some of the other kernel
module packages (e.g. pcmcia-source, alsa-source, openafs-modules-source) for
examples of how to do this.
I'm CCing the bug address to record the fact that you have an interest in
adopting this package. Don't forget to close this bug with your first upload.
