I don't know, but I'd be more than sure that there are good reasons.

Ditch checkinstall and learn the debian way. In particular:
$ tar -xzvf foo.tar.gz
$ cd foo
$ ./configure --your-pretty-options
$ make --your-pretty-options
[if everything goes according to the plan]
$ dh_make --createorig
$ joe/nano/pico/vi/emacs debian/rules
[change --your-pretty-options]
$ debuild -us -uc -b
Now that's a crash course ;)
