*How* did you try to build the module?
Did you try both module-assistant and make-kpkg?

That's a custom kernel, not an official Debian linux-image-*, so the

Do you have this script somewhere in your kernel source tree?

Also retry the build with setting LC_ALL=C first, might be a
localisation issue.
