Hi,

Can't be reproduced here. I just built the kernel.  The actual
 command to create the control file is
,
| test -f debian/control || sed -e 's/=V/$(KERNELRELEASE)/g'  \
|   -e 's/=D/$(debian)/g' -e 's/=A/$(DEB_HOST_ARCH)/g'  \
|   -e 's/=SA/$(INT_SUBARCH)/g'   -e 's/=L/$(int_loaderdep) /g' \
|   -e 's/=I/$(initrddep)/g'\
|   -e 's/=CV/$(VERSION).$(PATCHLEVEL)/g'   \
|   -e 's/=M/$(maintainer) <$(email)>/g'\
|   -e 's/=ST/$(INT_STEM)/g'  -e 's/=B/$(KERNEL_ARCH)/g'\
|  $(CONTROL) > debian/control
`

Hmm. I'll bet that the problem is that you are running with a
 funny umask. So. A bug that might need fixing, but it s a minor issue
 (like, use a sane umask for a workaround).

Bug#514482: kernel-package: make-kpkg fails with permission error on control directory

[Bart Massey]

Package: kernel-package
Version: 11.016
Severity: important


Running "make-kpkg buildpackage" in the 2.6.28.4 Git
directory as root eventually yields

  dpkg-deb: building package `linux-headers-2.6.28.4' in 
`../linux-headers-2.6.28.4_2.6.28.4-10.00.Custom_i386.deb'.
  dpkg-deb: control directory has bad permissions 2755 (must be >=0755 and 
<=0775)

and then fails out.  Of course, the control directory was
created by make-kpkg, and changing its permissions doesn't
solve the problem.
