Package: linux-kbuild-3.5

I tried to use linux-kbuild-3.5 to build a driver for a Realtek card
driver but the driver won't load due to an "Exec format error". I guess
this is because kbuild is for 3.5 but the kernel version in experimental
is called 3.5-trunk. I tried to use the "mini howto" from
<http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2012/08/msg00390.html> but I
can't find any way to make it work with the "trunk" suffix.

linux-kbuild-3.5 is fine, as it doesn't include any ABI definition.
You need to install matching versions of
linux-headers-3.5-trunk-<flavour> and linux-image-3.5-trunk-<flavour>.
(When the package name includes 'trunk' there is no promise that the
ABI won't change between different versions of the package.)
Ben.
