Not really, although I realise the longer description on
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/ could lead you to that
conclusion. As the short description better indicates, debian-devel is
focused on the development of the distribution, rather than development
on or using it.

Adam,
Thanks for your reply.
OK, I can understand that. However, then where do you get support for
building modules with tools supplied by Debian - especially when there
seems to be a bug in one of those tools, but can't figure out which tool
to file a bug report against (or if it even is a bug - which I think it is)?
The mentors list doesn't seem to be appropriate, either.
It's not a bug in our packages, otherwise we would have hundreds of bug
reports of this already.
(My guess: you haven't installed the packages properly, for example you
made /usr/src a symlink.)
Ben.
Ben,
I'm not sure what would have been wrong. I haven't made any additional
symlinks other than some for Apache configuration files, etc. - nothing
like /usr/src.
Additionally, there was one bug report (I don't have the number off
hand) which was closed with no apparent (to me, at least) solution.
Others have also experienced this problem - but again, I haven't been
able to discern a resolution for any of these (other than one which was
a change to the user's makefile).
Anyway, I've posted in debian-users; I'll see what goes there.
