yes

git checkout -f 

removes the complete debian directory.

There has to be some other dependency. It worked if I changed from

--append-to-version 8c6270f957f0eaa343e4a609159c4b85038468d6
to
--append-to-version -8c6270f957f0eaa343e4a609159c4b85038468d6

as in

MAKEFLAGS="CC=gcc-3.4  HOSTCC=gcc-3.4" make-kpkg  --append-to-version -8c6270f957f0eaa343e4a609159c4b85038468d6 --revision 2.6-1.gitbisect -us -uc --initrd --rootcmd fakeroot  kernel-image
