Yep. Practically same file is in pcmcia-cs source package after tar xvzf.

When compiling the standalone PCMCIA package, the Configure
script decides whether or not to build any kernel modules by
looking at the value of the CONFIG_PCMCIA option in your kernel
configuration. If CONFIG_PCMCIA is enabled, then no driver com-
ponents are built. If CONFIG_PCMCIA is disabled, then all the
modules will be built and installed. It is safe to compile the
user tools (cardmgr, cardctl, etc) in a PCMCIA package whose ver-
sion number differs from the PCMCIA version number in the kernel
source tree. The kernel PCMCIA header files take precedence over
the ones included in the PCMCIA package, if CONFIG_PCMCIA is en-
abled.

How do I do this and make local debian package with make-kpkg?
Maybe I should just compile it since it is kernel space. But what do I
have to do for corresponding user space packages such as pcmcia-cs?
