I'm very sorry---the word "module" should not have been in that sentence.  I have
built, for example,

linux-image-6.12.40+deb13-amd64-unsigned

that I used on these machines.  I do not use the `make deb` or whatever built-in
infrastructure exists that is shipped by upstream.  I am reusing almost all of the
Debian build structure to get something as close to Debian as possible (but with
more recent minor releases).

Best,
Antonio
