I don't see compat-wireless in the list of Debian packages

The whole point of having compat-wireless it to allow compiling the
current wireless drivers on older kernels, including kernels provided by
distributions.  If distributions were to package compat-wireless, it
would be inevitably behind the current code, simply because no
distribution would be able to update it daily.

So it's quite natural that Debian doesn't package compat-wireless.
