The user may want to do it by hand.

/usr/src# tar xjf linux-uvc.tar.gz
/usr/src# cd modules/linux-uvc
/usr/src/modules/linux-uvc# make
/usr/src/modules/linux-uvc# make install

But I'm checking this in another source module packages, and it seems to
me that there's no standard. fglrx-kernel-src recommends m-a;
alsa-source doesn't even suggests it; ndiswrapper-source, ipw2200-source
and ipw3945-source depends on it. So I think that doing this by hand can
be considered not a debianized form of doing, and this possibility
doesn't need to exist. I'll never use it like this myself. For me you
can close this bug, I thought all packages recommend m-a, but I only
checked fglrx-kernel-src.

Best regards.
