It seems like this patch is not in place, as the modules should
get installed in

/lib/modules/2.2.17-$flavour

if you really use flavours correctly.

I am afraid you have lost me here... 

You can only have one version of the alsa- and pcmcia-packages for
each kernel {version,flavour} combination. (at least that is my
understanding). Perhaps that is what you meant?
