I have not tried it with stable, but with testing I have very good luck
with kernel-package to package modules packages. 

Nowadays the zaptel package in Sid/Sarge has moved to use
modules-assistant, so I don't need those direct commands, but I still
have them saved.

The result is a nice little package of zaptel modules for your specific
kernel (or for a specific kernel. The kernel-headers package is most
useful). It may take minimal massaging of the source tarball, and the
current debian package could serve as a reference.

And you won't have to go around guessing dates.
