That's right. Same thing happens in my case when I do:

make-kpkg --revision 1 kernel_image modules_image

the kernel_image deb will be the new kernel and the modules_image a deb 
for lm-sensor modules that have to go into the new kernel.

When you install the modules deb you will get unresolved symbols because 
the running kernel is not the same. Goes away when you boot with the new 
kernel.
