Oh!  And when I tried to run sensors-detect, I found that the
/dev/i2c-* devices weren't present.  There's a script buried several
layers deep in the source tree to create them, but the Debian packaging
doesn't include it.

That script the error mentions is what you need.  Run it, use
sensors-detect to sort out the modules you need,a nd forget about it. 
The i2c-* devices will vanish with the next boot, but they only seem to
be needed by sensors-detect.  At least nothing else I've done has
complained of their lack yet.
