Are you using make-kpkg or what?

I must admit the new build rules that work with 2.6.29 were only tested
with module-assitant and linux-modules-nonfree-2.6 since those are the
only two methods the debian kernel pacakge developers seem to support.
Those building their own kernels would of course likely still use
make-kpkg, so perhaps I should have tested that too.
