I'll just note that I experince practically none of those issues on my
Debian Sarge. I build zaptel modules for various kernels using a wrapper
(from the deb package) that passes KVERS and KSRC explicitly.

I build zaptel for variou kernels, not only my running kernel. At the
tiem of 'make install', the target directory probably doesn't exist, as
INSTALL_PREFIX is used for building the package.
