This message seems to come from line 106 in TOPDIR Makefile:

    102 #### alpha part
    103 # This actually just gets the first one 
    104 kernelalpha             := $(shell $(pathcmd:P=kernel-image-$(kver)-*.deb))
    105 first_alpha_arch        := $(shell echo $(kernelalpha) \
    106         | sed -e 's/.*kernel-image-$(kver)-// ; s/_.*//')
    107 alpha_arches            := generic alcor avanti cabriolet eb164 eb64p \
    108         eb66 eb66p jensen lx164 miata-s miata mikasa noname noritake-p \

    112 alpha_drivers_targets   := $(alpha_arches:%=drv1440_%.bin)

pathcmd is defined as

pathcmd         = ls -1ft updates/P $(local_dir)/P $(archive)/base/P $(archive)/
admin/P $(archive)/devel/P $(archive)/utils/P 2>/dev/null | head -1

and kver is 2.2.14 for alpha.

Can you check the value in "kernelalpha" using

 ls -1ft updates/kernel-image-2.2.14-*.deb \
   /archive/debian/local/kernel-image-2.2.14-*.deb \
   /archive/debian/base/kernel-image-2.2.14-*.deb \
   /archive/debian/devel/kernel-image-2.2.14-*.deb \
   /archive/debian/utils/kernel-image-2.2.14-*.deb |head -1

at boot-floppies/ dir ?

# /archive/debian can be a symbolic link for your local archive (mirror)

This message seems to come from line 186 in Makefile:

    182 # Are our depends satisfied?  (i.e., for people using CVS)
    183 check_depends:
    184         @echo checking boot-floppies dependancies
    185         @perl -e \
    186           '$$_=`sed -n s/^Depends://Ip debian/control`."$(depends_checks)"; \
    187            $$/="\n\n"; y/,/ /; s/\(.*?\)//g; @M{split()}=""; while (<>){ \
    188              /^Status: \S+ \S+ installed$$/ms or next; \
    189              delete $$M{$$1} if /^Package: (\S+)/ms; \
    190              delete @M{split(/ *, */,$$1)} if /^Provides: (.+?)$$/ms; \
    191            } foreach my $$m (keys %M) { print "  didn'\''t find $$m\n" } \
    192            exit 1 if %M' /var/lib/dpkg/status

I don't know why your sed can not understand 's/^Depends://Ip'.
info sed shows I is a GNU extention, so if you cut GNU extention
from sed, then the messsage may come up, but you wrote that you
use the standard sed.

just FYI.
