I'm afraid you lost me here. I have little clue about Debian.

When one installs the "alsa-source" package on Debian and unpacks the resulting /usr/src/alsa-driver.tar.bz2 file, it ends up in a directory under /usr/src/modules.
Normally one would also have the kernel source unpacked into /usr/src/linux, then run:
make-kpkg --initrd linux-image modules-image
to compile a kernel and whatever modules packages were installed (e.g. ALSA)
I unpacked the Mercurial snapshot, then did a cp -r of the snapshot to the directory underneath /usr/src/modules where the alsa drivers were unpacked so that I could still use the Debian build process to compile the Mercurial snapshot of ALSA.
