Have you tried using `DEB_HOST_ARCH=armel` and `--arch arm`? I'm able to build an armel kernel_image deb like this:
$ DEB_HOST_ARCH=armel fakeroot make-kpkg --arch arm --cross-compile arm-linux-gnueabi- -j 5 kernel_image My armel system seems to be OK with it. If I don't set the DEB_HOST_ARCH and build with --arch arm, my armel system is not OK with it: dpkg will complain about the deb being made for arm, not armel. I'm not sure how much of a bug this is. Can you confirm if you're able to build armel .debs by using DEB_HOST_ARCH? There might be a lack of documentation showing that this is now how to build for armel, there's only 1 little part of the README and the example is for i386/amd64, not armel. But I get the impression that the "merge" really did happen. This also looks very similar to bug 671533 [1].
