Why compile it yourself, when you can apt-get it?
apt-get install alsa-base alsa-source alsa-utils alsaconf
(Note: I'm tracking sid, so it might be different for potato)
Note: you'll still have to compile the kernel modules (from the
alsa-source package - it'll stick a tar file in /usr/src/), but then at
least everything else will be managed by apt. And if you use
kernel-package, you can make deb packages of both the kernel and the
modules.
You might be (probably should be) able to install alsa-modules-{kernel
version number} too, but I've never tried it. I always just compile the
kernel and the modules myself.
