Normally, you should end up with a directory
/usr/src/kernel-source-<version>. Debian doesn't really force you to
use this directory[1], you can use the location you like. To build the
ltmodem package, just specify --with-kernel-dir=<place where you
extracted the tarball>

I'm not sure what the differences are between the header packages. Try
using the vanilla one.
[1] /usr/src has even been deprecated AFAIK.
