Man, you should really add a bit more information in your mails when reporting
issues you are having in Debian in the future. The problem you have here is with a script
provided in the *upstream* kernel sources while in Debian we have our own scripts
for building kernel packages. In fact, there is thorough documentation which explains
in detail how to build your own kernel packages for the exact cases you are
having here:

The first email you sent in this thread sounded like "Hey, I tried using a standard
feature in Debian which everyone expects to work out-of-the-box and it turns out to
be horribly broken" and then only to admit you were using tools that are completely
unrelated and unsupported by Debian, so there is actually nothing we can do about
in Debian.
