Ah, you've nailed it here.  Of course, the Debian maintainer had no
intention of making a package that worked, it was all about making a
showpiece... you've torn back the curtain of *this* little conspiracy.

Oh, but wait, the version of ndiswrapper-source in testing is packaged by
the same maintainer, and it works just fine for me.

This is off-topic for this list.  If you want to propagandize .deb packages
