As you seem to be running sid or at least parts of it, I'd suggest
using checkinstall from the package with the same name. The only
difference to the normal installation is to use:
# checkinstall
instead of
# make install
This way you can later on deinstall using the debian package
managemant tools, since it will create a .deb and install that one.
Also the package module-assistant might be an even better alternative,
since it eases off some of the pains involved when compiling modules
for your kernel and creates a .deb too.
