Hi,
I think you do indeed need to tell make-kpkg how to become root:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
make-kpkg --revision 1.1 --append_to_version -xen-amd64 \
--bzImage --arch-in-name --initrd -j6 kernel_image
...
====== making target
debian/stamp/install/linux-image-3.15.0-rc5-xen-amd64-00009-g7e338c9 [new
prereqs: ]======
This is kernel package version 13.007.
...

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I have, however, improved the manual page to make the fact that
running under root or sudo is not recommended.
As to the configuration issue, the manual page says:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
This manual page explains the Debian make-kpkg utility, which is used
to create the kernel related Debian packages. This utility needs to be
run from a top level Linux kernel source directory, which has been
previously configured
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
It then goes on to explain that when a configuration file is
missing, make-kpkg tries to get one from somewhere.
Again, I have tried to improve the manual page in this area.
