This line should say:

  for module in <list-of-modules>; do   \

but the list of modules is empty and so the contents of the 'for' 
loop is never executed.

I'm not quite sure why; but it indicates that make-kpkg is not 
being asked to make any modules. 

If the modules you are trying to build are not only the standard
ones in the kernel sources then check that /usr/src/modules
exists and contains what you expect.

You have selected some stuff to be built as modules, right? 
Verify with:

  grep =m /usr/src/linux/.config

(Adjust path to .config to match what you have.)

What happens when you run:

  make-kpkg buildpackage

(with or without '-initrd' and  '-revision=<localverno>' as 
appropriate)?

Do you get a deb then?
