I take it you are now using comedi CVS with Jan's debian/rules patch?

I don't know what role EXTRAVERSION plays in building kernel modules for 
Debian (I rarely use Debian), but I don't think you are supposed to run 
debian/rules directly.  According to Jan, after applying the 
debian/rules patch, you are meant to do something like this:

  cd /usr/src/linux
  fakeroot make-kpkg /path/to/comedi modules-image
