[This request is about the kernel module from ipset.netfilter.org] External modules are not integrated into the regular Debian kernel package, see http://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernelPatchAcceptanceGuidelines For ipset, you should package the kernel-related part of ipset into a ipset-modules package and integrate the build into the linux-modules-extra-2.6 meta package, so that it is automatically build for all archs, see http://packages.qa.debian.org/l/linux-modules-extra-2.6.html I'm retitling this to a packaging request on the wnpp meta package.
