What you are trying to do is write a computer program which functions as a
Linux kernel module and package it as such for Debian GNU/Linux. This forum
is a forum for end users, not for creators and maintainers of Debian kernel
module packages. You are posting your question to the wrong forum. I
suggest that you post your question to debian-mentors@lists.debian.org.
The topic for debian-mentors is "Helping newbie developers". The topic
for debian-user is "Help and discussion among users of Debian".
You're on the wrong forum!
