I've gone through this with Riku and found a couple of problems:

- The 'clean' rule in the generated debian/rules calls 'make clean',
  but scripts/package/Makefile includes debian/ in clean-dirs.
  Currently that directory does not get removed for some reason, but I
  think that's a bug and the clean rule in debian/rules should guard
  against removal.
- Building of the 'orig' tarball uses git, i.e. it depends on the
  kernel source being in a git repository and not simply unpacked from
  a tarball (or from other VCS).  The rpmpkg target doesn't have this 
  same restriction.

I leave it to you to decide whether these are important enough to block
it.
