That's why I proposed to ship the script in examples: we could say in
the documentation that if the user wants automatic building he just
need to copy it in /etc.
An unexperienced person needs to read m-a manual anyway, and copying a
file is something I expect a debian user to be able to do.
The alternative could be to ship script in /etc/kernel/postinst.d to
be activated via a /etc/default/ configuration file.

IMHO, building and installing kernel modules without user intervetion
isn't a sensible choice, you can do a lot of harm that way...
Cheers,
Luca
