That's probably only to make things easier.  I presume it is a GPL source 
code driver and not a proprietary, pre-compiled module?
If it is a source code collection are you sure that there are no 
instructions for a straightforward compile cycle using make, as well as a 
rpm build option?
Not familiar with Debian but does it include rpm?  I know it may not use 
the rpm database, but rpm is also used with a .spec file to build/compile a 
suitable module you could install manually.

Is there a Makefile file present in the archive?  If so see what happens 
when you just type make in the unarchived folder.
