to compile external modules debs, you should write:
make-kpkg modules_image
I have written a small guide for installing alsa on debian. However,
it assumes you compile your own kernel as well.
http://www.d.kth.se/~d98-jas/debian/debian-install-alsa.txt
As for no pre compiled alsa modules for 2.4.20. I guess, they just
haven't arrived yet.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=182315 also has some
nice info that the alsa build docs are being improved.
