...where'd that "+10.00.Custom" come from? How exactly did you invoke
make-kpkg?

Right; otherwise the standalone i2c modules would need to conflict
with the kernel, which would be poor. :-) The discrepancy between
"2.4.18" and "2.4.18-686" does appear problematic; did you correctly
specify "--append-to-version 686" to make-kpkg?
It'd also be useful to know what version of i2c-source and
lm-sensors-source you have. I'm pretty sure unstable and testing have
the same version which should work to build modules against the
official kernel source, though.

Why do you think this?

Perhaps /usr/share/doc/lm-sensors-source/README.Debian?
