dpkg-buildpackage will always fail to build the emc-1.0 package. To 
successfully build the emc-1.0-xx.deb requires (amongst other things), m-a, 
dh_helper, and a few extra packages from the experimental branch. The 
emc-modules package is dependant on a specific kernel package version and can 
only be built along side that one kernel. May be when m-a has been fully 
debugged and migrated through to "stable" we can look at fixing this minor 
problem.

 You can still compile emc by switching to the emc-1.0/src directory, running 
configure, followed by make as per the usual instructions. This will result 
in a fully functional set of binaries that are identical to the packaged 
version.
