That hasn't really been updated for Ubuntu; it should be ...

Note that the Ubuntu kernel build process differs here; you don't build
the udebs separately, they're built as part of the kernel packaging. You
don't want to use linux-kernel-di-i386-2.6 or anything like that any
more.

Does your kernel source package have the Ubuntu patches applied?
