They can.  Unfortunately last time I tried them they were incorrectly
packaged and hardcoded to build against 2.6.16 rather than the kernel
headers you point them at.  I really should file a bug report.  The
package also modifies itself on debian/rules clean, so overall it is
really in an awful state.
