Hi,
I took a closer look into this and it seems to be related to
an unfortunate interaction between the kernel's Makefile
and Debian's make-kpkg. The attached patch should resolve
the problem by creating a non-empty scripts/package/Makefile -
empty files are purged by a make distclean, which is called
by make-kpkg as part of the build process.
I have reassigned the bug to kernel-package accordingly.
Manoj has already take a look at this and aggreed to the fix
in principle.
