make-kpkg target failing for v3.1
while trying to build kernel v3.1 today, i ran into this error:

i have not encountered this error building the kernel in v3.0.4 and before (i generally build and install most of the new stable releases, and have done so since v.2.4). the command i used, and always have, was:
make-kpkg --initrd --rootcmd fakeroot kernel_image

while it certainly *looks* like the "chmod og=rX" should take place in the 3.0.4 build process, the directory does not reflect it, and the dpkg-deb process is content and completes.

You may want to use "make deb-pkg" instead.

Do you build kernels as root? You really should not do this.

I have just built a 3.1 kernel from Linus' tree with make-kpkg, also in a sticky directory, and it worked. But I'm not building kernels (or other Debian packages) as root.
Which kernel-package version do you use?
Cheers,
Sven
