I have that normally set for 100K lines here. If it breaks, it just adds a few lines even without && \ and the point were it stops building, is just a few lines scrolling up. The utility for Debian and *buntu to build kernel packages doesn't add lines, I just add downloading the sources, patching and adding the links to the source in /lib. It's very comfortable and even easier to use, than the very easy to use package building tool for Arch Linux. Building other Debian/Ubuntu packages, than kernel packages, is not that easy for Debian/Ubuntu, this is easier to do using Arch Linux. I recommended to install fakeroot, but didn't use it in my explanation. JFTR, I also didn't add to build kernel source and kernel doc packages, since the image and headers packages are what we usually want. It might be worth testing if make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot [followed by commands what to do] does work without issues, since building with root privileges is frowned upon. YMMV!
