[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] How do you build the virtualbox-ose-modules package?

I've been able to use module-assistant to build the modules for virtualbox, 
but when I put them on a mirror, the version from the linux-modules-extra-2.6 
package seems to override them.  The modules that I'm building with 
modules-assistant seem to have a version like (vboxver)+(kver), while the 
modules from l-m-e seem to have a version like (kver)+(vboxver).  This is 
making things difficult for me, as I have to keep installing the package by 
hand, instead of letting apt do it.

I also tried to build the modules with make-kpkg, but I just get the vbox 
version and no kernel version when I do that.  How do I build the modules so 
that I get them in the form (kver)+(vboxver), like they are in the mirror?
