The Debian source package generates (besides the libtonezone packages) 
two seperate "binary" packages:

zaptel: the userspace stuff. Utilities, configs, docs.
zaptel-source: a copy of the source, ready for building. Curently it is
basically acopy of the source tarball with some extra metadata files.

You can then use zaptel-source to build binary modules packages in an
automated way given a kernel-headers/linux-headers package for a
specific kernel configuration. The generated package is called 
zaptel-modules-<kernel_version> . It have the modules installed under 
/lib/modules/<kernel_version> .
