[Bug 103652] cannot build wacom-kernel-source kernel modules

[Joachim Beckers]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-source

with the latest feisty kernel (2.6.20-14.22), I cannot compile the wacom
kernel modules... this didn't occur with 2.6.20-13.21, so there has to
be some regression in 2.6.20-14.22.

more precisely: I'm trying to use m-a to build, but the build stops,
saying that there are no targets for make found.
