Look at the command you're using again:
} fakeroot make-kpkg --append_to_version --revision=rev.01 kernel_image
You forgot to tell it *what* you want to append to the version number.
You tell it that you want to append something to the version number,
but you don't tell it what. Consequently, it's taking the next thing
in the command line ("--revision=rev.01") and interpreting that not
as a command-line option, but as being a string that you want to append
to the version number. Since it contains an "=", that violates the
constraint on what can be in a version number. Hence, the error
message above.
You need to put in the thing you want appended to the version number.
