If you have an updated Debian system (i.e. you have a kernel package 
from the security repository) is quite hard to compile Comedi without 
doing the wrong thing with the symbols (they contain the kernel versions).

The main problem is because comedi needs the kernel sources and not just 
the kernel headers.
So you must install the Debian package for the kernel headers and the 
package for the kernel sources.
Even in this case I got some problems, for some reason the kernel 
sources installed by apt-get arenīt exactly the same used to create the 
kernel obtained from the security repository.
What worked for my Debian systems is to configure comedi using the 
kernel sources (comedi extracts the compilation flags during the 
configuration) and then change things so Comedi uses the kernel headers 
installed by apt and not the kernel headers from the kernel sources.
After it I got symbol versions perfectly matching with my installed kernel.
