compiling ALSA with make-kpkg

[Fabrice Planchon <fab@math.jussieu.fr>]

I just tried to compile the ALSA modules using

make-kpkg modules_image 

at the root of my kernel tree (and with the ALSA src unpacked at the
usual place) and got the following:

Generating debian/modules.d/control.module...done
install debian/modules.d/control-0.5.source debian/control
cat debian/modules.d/control-0.5.normal >> debian/control
cat debian/modules.d/control-0.5.source > debian/control
cat debian/modules.d/control-0.5.module-image >> debian/control
sh debian/modules-tools.d/check-debian-rules-pkg

WARNING: If you want to create the ALSA module package by make-kpkg or debian/rules, you need to install 'debhelper' package!!

make[2]: *** [config] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver-0.5-0.5.12a-2'
make[1]: *** [kdist_image] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver-0.5-0.5.12a-2'
Module /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver-0.5-0.5.12a-2 failed.

I do have debhelper installed, and I don't quite see what I am
missing (am running woody),
