Why?
I think that it´s something wrong here, the problem might be inside debian
because I grab the .run file of fglrx from the main download site
and install in my system running 2.6.22.2 and 'everything'
it´s cool, I play Games, etc.
NOTE: All my instalations of fglrx are 'without' module-assistant
and my builds are generic, NOT DEBIAN BASED.

A While ago it maybe true, but recently this
is not 100% true because the support has been
optimized to avoid this conflicts on the kernel.
Good Luck.
