Did you try Googling? What did you find? Or how about the archives
of this mailing list? This has been discussed here many times.
Briefly: the lm-sensors packages, as the package description says,
contains *utilities* for reading the sensors. It doesn't contain
the actual kernel modules necessary. For that, you're going to need
to download either one of the module packages ("lm-sensors-kernelversion")
if you're running a stock Debian kernel, or build your own from
the package lm-sensors-source if you've got a custom kernel. You'll
also need i2c modules ("i2c-kernelversion" or "i2c-source") as well.
