If you're using kernel-package, external modules are reasonably well
supported; you need to unpack tarballs in /usr/src/modules and run
'make-kpkg modules-image', generally. i2c and lm-sensors, among other
things, are both included in Debian unstable (and testing) in the
i2c-source and lm-sensors-source packages, respectively. They've
worked reasonably well for me, at least.
