deb-pkg is using kernels infos to find the debian host architecture but
looks like it knows only arm/armel. There's a KBUILD_DEBARCH to force an
arch, maybe you can try something like that:
$ KBUILD_DEBARCH=armhf make deb-pkg

I'm going to have a look to fix the "auto detection" of the architecture
but at least, the workaround I gave should work.
