while trying to build kernel v3.1 today, i ran into this error:

****************************************
create_md5sums_fn () { cd $1 ; find . -type f ! -regex './DEBIAN/.*' ! -regex './var/.*' -printf '%P\0' | xargs -r0 md5sum > DEBIAN/md5sums ; if [ -z "DEBIAN/md5sums" ] ; then rm -f "DEBIAN/md5sums" ; fi ; } ; create_md5sums_fn /usr/src/linux-3.1/debian/linux-image-3.1.0

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


there is a difference in the perms in a 3.1 build tree vs. a 3.0.4 tree
#52 decca:/usr/src/linux-3.1/debian

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.
