Same pb when I compiled it, I should have done a bug report.

Go to the debian directory, edit "control.modules.in" :

Package: sl-modem-modules-_KVERS_
Architecture: any
Depends: kernel-image-_KVERS_
Provides: sl-modem-modules-new
Replaces: sl-modem-modules
...

Change the line beginning with "Depends". 
For example, I added linux-image:

Depends: kernel-image-_KVERS_ | linux-image-_KVERS_
