This is either a bug or feature in the latest kernel-package; I
suspect it's a bug, but don't know yet.

To work around it, you can create two new text files in the kernel
source directory: debian/changelog and debian/control

(You got the error about the first one, but if you just add that
missing file, you'll hit the second one.  Add them both and it'll
work.)

debian/chagelog should look something like this:

//=== cut here =========================================
kernel-image (2.2.13pre14-moe.4.0) unstable; urgency=low

  * first 2.2 compile for moe

\\=== cut here =========================================

You may or may not have to put your own correct version number in the
parenthes on the first line above, and you probably should put your
own name and email address in place of mine (I think you must follow
that exact format, however).  You may want to change the comment
(the "*" line) as well, to keep yourself sane.

debian/control should look something like this:

//=== cut here =========================================
Source: kernel-image
Maintainer: David L. Coe <david.coe@someotherplace.org>
Section: base
Priority: optional
Standards-Version: 3.0.1

Package: kernel-image-2.2.13pre14
Architecture: i386
Description: my kernel image
 my kernel image
\\=== cut here =========================================

You *do* have to put the correct kernel-image-2... name on the
Package: line; the make-kpkg will complain if you get it wrong.  And
again, use your email address rather than mine.

HTH.
