Just about all the (recent) Debian kernel-image packages have both ax25
and mkiss modules included.  I can verify that kernel-image-2.4.27-1-686 
and kernel-image-2.6.9-1-k7 (which are the ones I currently have 
installed on my two machines) include these modules (although these 
aren't necessarily the versions currently available from the Debian 
archives).
