I need a few kernel modules that are not included in the stock kernel.
module-assistant makes it pretty easy to compileinstall them, but I still
wish it were even more transparent.
I.e. I'd like to be able to automatically compileinstall those modules for
every new kernel I install (and also automatically remove those
installed modules/packages before removing the corresponding kernel).
Any idea how to do that? I can't be the only one who's tired to forgetting
to auto-reinstall his ipw3945/fglrx/... modules.

Install 'kernel-package'. From
'/uss/share/kernel-package/docs/README.modules':
Add on modules and the kernel-package
=== == === === === ==
There are a number of add-on modules (that is, kernel modules
are developed apart from the Linux kernel and do not appear in the
mainstream kernel sources). Notables, at the time of writing, are the
pcmcia-cs and and the alsa sound modules.
Most of these modules need to be compiled for each kernel
version; they are very dependent on kernel structures. It was
suggested that it would be nice to be able to build the add-on
modules whenever one created a new kernel, and kernel-package
provides some mechanisms to do so for co-operating add-on modules.
I haven't tried this, although I should (Madwifi, ndiswrapper).
