"apt-get source kernel" would be easier

Do you plan to provide the extra modules as a package
in extras-devel or just as individual files?

You could disable building and packaging of the kernel
in the debian/rules and control file and only generate a modules
package. Please make sure to also rename the source package and the
generate packages to avoid conflict with the stock kernel.

For indidivual files just extracting the output of the first solution
could be the simplest approach.
