If you copy your module directly into the source tree, then you need to download a new kernel source tree and unpack it due to kernel maintenance, you lose your modifications. By keeping the out-of-kernel- source-tree modules in a separate directory, /usr/src/modules/..., you don't lose your modifications. You download and unpack the new kernel source, rebuild both packages, and install both packages. Simple. P.S. Angus: sorry for the inadvertent private e-mail earlier.
