Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: kernel-package
I use make-kpkg for compiling my kernels and building DEB packages,
which I can then transfer over to other machines. I'm using upstream
sources for this (e.g. the torvalds git tree).
The thing is that there is a script "scripts/setlocalversion" which
might generate output like a simple "+" in cases the source differs from
the upstream version (e.g. self included patches aso.). If that is the
case the generated version string looks like "2.6.35-rc4-amd64+" if the
appended version string is just "-amd64".
This was not a problem before but now I get the following situation:
when make-kpkg runs it replaces the placeholders inside the
debian/control file with the version string unmodified and so the
additional "+" sign don't make it into the "debian/control" file and one
will get the same error as in issue #58307, comment #7:
dpkg-gencontrol -DArchitecture=amd64 -isp \
-plinux-image-2.6.35-rc4-amd64+

dpkg-gencontrol: error: package linux-image-2.6.35-rc4-amd64+ not in control

make[1]: Leaving directory `/srv/dev/kernel/torvalds/linux-2.6'

The output explains this:
...
sed -e 's/=V/2.6.35-rc4-amd64/g' \
-e 's/=D/2.6.35-rc4-amd64+-10.00.Custom/g' -e
's/=A/amd64/g' \
-e 's/=SA//g' \
-e 's/=I//g' \
-e 's/=CV/2.6/g' \
-e 's/=M/Unknown Kernel Package Maintainer
<unkn...@unconfigured.in.etc.kernel-pkg.conf>/g' \
-e 's/=ST/linux/g' -e 's/=B/x86_64/g' \
/usr/share/kernel-package/Control > debian/control
...
And as the placeholder for the package includes "V": "Package: =ST-
image-=V=SA" it surely can't make it in. So in the end the version
string that is generated into "include/config/kernel.release":
echo "2.6.35-rc4-amd64$(/bin/bash scripts/setlocalversion
/srv/dev/kernel/torvalds/linux-2.6)" > include/config/kernel.release
...does not match the variable "version" that is used in /usr/share
/kernel-package/ruleset/minimal.mk:
test -f debian/control || sed -e 's/=V/$(version)/g' \
