Package: kernel-package
Version: 12.010

Option --overlay-dir appears to be broken (I try to use it to provide
a useful changelog; it used to be the case that the changelog file
could be modified between the configure and build stages, but now it
seems to be overwritten again, so I tried to fix this by providing my
own changelog with --overlay-dir).  The error lines look like this:

test ! -d /tmp/overlay-dir  ||                          \
          (cd /tmp/overlay-dir; tar cf - . | (cd /debian; umask 000; tar xsf -))
tar: ./changelog: Cannot open: Permission denied
tar: ./Control: Cannot open: Permission denied
tar: .: Cannot utime: Operation not permitted
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
make: *** [debian/stamp/conf/minimal_debian] Error 2

The offender seems to be kernel/ruleset/minimal.mk which references
$(SRCTOP) at line 115, which is undefined.  I don't understand what
makefile calls what, so I can't help any further, but replacing with

(cd $(strip $(KPKG_OVERLAY_DIR)); tar cf - .) | (cd debian; umask 000; tar xsf 
-)

seems to do the trick.

Happy hacking,
