Yep - AFAICT you are correct.  It may be as little as KERNEL_CC in fact that
I was missing.  Still, there is time for cleanup later - a working debian
package is better than no package :)

Yep - "pwd=`pwd` && cd $MODSRC && autoconf -l $pwd"  (where MODSRC is where
I'm building the arla-modules-source package).

Murphy's rule of packaging:
   Just when you (are about to) release a package, a new version is released
   

Unfortunately my ISP is playing up and whenever I try and upload the
.diff.gz it disconnects me :(  I may have to do this from work on monday.
