The source deb is what you compile.
The precompiled package is what is not updated simultaneously with the new
kernel version. When you go, say from 2.6.7 to 2.6.8, the precompiled package
may not be valid any longer. Even if it were, one would still need to copy
the ko (or uninstall and reinstall). If out of date, an error will show on
the modprobe. Going from 2.6.8-1 to 2.6.8-2 will not be a problem.
It would, of course, be best if all prepackaged kernel modules that must be
recompiled against the kernel be upgraded simultaneously the new kernel.
