Could you provide more detail, please? This is not enough to
indicate where the fault lies. At a minimum, the kernel package
invocation line, and the full logs of the build where failure was
noticed should be provided to the bug report. Without this information,
it is hard to diagnose the problem.
The only thing I can see is that sparc processing in k-p defines
NEED_DIRECT_GZIP_IMAGE. Now, what kernel-package thinks is the
architecture is taken from either
a) user specified value,
b) dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU
If the architecture contains the string sparc, then we arrange
to gzip the image. If this is not happening, we need to determine if it
tried to compress, but compressed the wong file, or it did not try to
compress it at all, or if the actual image is in some other place.
If the build logs for the kernel image show which of these
scenarios it is, it can be easily fixed. So the build log of the kernel
image would be useful.

Why do you say this is a regression? Does the previous version
work? What was the last known working version of the kernel-package?

Which version of kernel-package was being used then?
