It looks like you only have kernel-headers installed.  You will need the
kernel source in order to compile a new kernel.  You can get this as a
Debian package if you wish.  Also you should consider using kernel-package
which will compile the kernel and create a kernel-image package which you
can then install.

You will still need to us ipfwadm (in the netbase Debian package).
