The checks are needed, because you have to be able to do a chown to root
But if you use fakeroot, make-kpkg will really believe you are root :-)

The only problem I see is "make modules_install"...

[ The issue here would be then whether /lib/modules is hardwired in the
kernel Makefile or it is possible to use an alternate directory for that ].
