If you're compiling your own kernel, you should read those packages'
respective README.Debian files, which give instructions.
(Essentially, after you 'make-kpkg kernel-image', 'make-kpkg
modules-image'.)  If you're using one of the stock kernels, you may be
comparatively out of luck; I'm trying to get packages into unstable
that contain precompiled modules for the provided 2.4.20 kernels.
