 Yes, please see #516734 and related mails on this list.

 You might find it helpful to use this sources.list entry instead of sid
then:
deb     http://kernel-archive.buildserver.net/debian-kernel trunk main

 It's not always, and the current problem is because of a rejected
linux-kbuild package from the NEW queue which unfortunately didn't get a
fix uploaded yet. The reject mail is here:
<http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2009/02/msg00567.html>

 Hope that helps. :)
