The preferred mechanism for building module packages is make-kpkg.
It's analgous to tightly-coupled or loosly-coupled components.
I modified the broken ndiswrapper-source not to depend on make-kpkg;
it's readme says the preffered technique is make-kpkg.
The only thing it "has to have" module-assistant is a couple of
variables in debian/rules. For that trivial advantage we now have tight
coupling on the rest of module-assistant, which means if those variables
change in module-assistant every other package has to change as well.
Loose coupling is better than tight coupling.
