It's not a duplicate of the modules. Instead, there are two sets of
drivers, the drivers supplied by the 2.4 kernel and the drivers provided
by the pcmcia-cs source. The kernel-image package now, incorrectly,
includes some symlinks from the /lib/modules/<k>/pcmcia directory to the
kernel modules located elsewhere in the /lib/modules/<k> directory tree.
Since these symlinks are located in the location where the standalone
drivers have always resided, a conflict occurs and "--force-overwrite"
is necessary.
See Bug#128662 for more information.

But I built my own pcmcia-modules package and kernel-image package
from the 2.4.17 kernel-source and 3.1.36 pcmcia-source.
You mean that these are still building bad links?
I have tried using the --force-overwrite option when installating the
pcmcia-modules package and it still does not work. I am able to get
past the problem with the pcmcia-core problem. But the specific
drivers I am using (orinoco, orinoco_cs) are still failing to modprobe
successfully.
Now what I am seeing is a versioning problem between these drivers in
the two pacages.
