I'm not sure to fully understand what the problem is.. anyhow I gave a
glance at the Makefile in realtime-0.0.3.tar.gz, but it seems to me
that just having the usual /usr/src/linux tree would suffices, and I
think this is a usual requirement for most debian kernel modules
packages..

Ok, that's a good starting point.
