The /usr/bin/installwatch script which is used by checkinstall still
fails:

========================= Installation results ===========================
This script has not been installed
Please run "make install"

****  Installation failed. Aborting package creation.

Cleaning up...OK

Bye.

Did you do a "make install" in the installwatch extraction dir with 
--prefix=/usr?

Even though it's a script it still has a Makefile which sets the correct
program and configfile locations.

Installwatch is missing the PREFIX declaration:

#!/bin/sh
#$Id: installwatch,v 0.6.1.1 2001/06/25 05:29:45 izto Exp $

PREFIX=#PREFIX#

The Makefile would set that to PREFIX=/usr

Rgds,
Rainer
