In Debian I use make-kpkg which is in  kernel-package.  This utility
makes a nice deb file for you to install.  If you want to do it the old way,

make menu-config || make gconfig || make xconfig
make modules
make modules install

These commands will put the modules in /lib/modules/version/...

The Debian packaging system puts the modules in the same place.
