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?
