The attached patch does not fix this issue but it, at least, provides a better error message for human operators. I'm not sure if the package should auto-extract the sources himself (even if in the local dir) since it's not that easy to determine that you are using the proper kernel sources for an NMU upload (that depends on the kernel-images used by the default kernel installed by d-i, IIRC) In any case, having it extract the Makefiles and the Configure.help of a kernel-source tar in a local build directory might be even better.
