Just for the thread to be concise:
of course you're right, I installed
alsa-source ( unbzipped and untarred to /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver)
and the kernel-source and indeed I did a
$ make-kpkg --revision levi.1 kernel_image
and then a
$ ALSA_CARDS=sbawe ALSA_DEBUG=yes make-kpkg --revision levi.1 modules_image
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(debug is another option)
(found out what drivers to be compiled with
/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver/configure --help)

right, in my case update of /etc/lilo.conf is unnecessary, post-inst
script of dpkg -i kernel*.deb asks and does it :)

Good to know it works without the debian packages smoothly.
will try that if there's a fundamentaly new kernel or alsa source..
Mycket tack för undervisningen.
