I've just been doing this myself under Squeeze. Thankfully Debian works without moaning about Kernel Taint like Ubuntu. There were a couple of small gotchas in the setup. The first being /lib/modules/2.etc/extra directory doesn't actually exist so you need to create that before make install.
After that run depmod -a. Then you can modprobe gpio and it all seems to work. Please note Debian and Ubuntu include the Comedi GPIO libraries and I'm not entirely sure how well these work together, I know that with Ubuntu I was trying to blacklist the Comedi modules before I finally gave up on the GPIO driver under Ubuntu.
