Oh, noo. Does that mean that I cannot create (add-on) module packages without
having to compile the whole kernel first?!

...could this maybe be adjusted to in linux-image files? They could ship a
modpost (and whatnot else) for that purpose... or make make-kpkg linux-headers
-aware...

Thanks for the hint anyway - I could finally build the fglrx package.
(Although 3d is still slow like a snail - but that's a different topic, I'll
have to look into it.)
