Aha. You are creating a default .config here, which may have
vastly less modules selected than what you had before. As far as I
know, the kernel sources .deb does not come with a .config (I have
not checked the official .debs recently, though)
Perhaps you should cp /boot/config-<whatever version you have> .config
before running make oldconfig?

You need to do nothing extra -- you just need to make sure you
configured everything into the kenrel in the first place. make menuconfig
should help you determine what is in, ad what is not.

These targets are for Debian-pacjkaged third party modules not
shipped with kernel sources.

No, the modules are all there. Your .config is the issue.
