This is not a valid Debian package version, and dpkg-deb will reject it. But dpkg-deb will print the generated package names at the end of the 'make deb-pkg' output, e.g.: dpkg-deb: building package `linux-headers-3.0.0-rc1+' in `../linux-headers-3.0.0-rc1+_3.0.0-rc1+-1_amd64.deb'. dpkg-deb: building package `linux-libc-dev' in `../linux-libc-dev_3.0.0-rc1+-1_amd64.deb'. dpkg-deb: building package `linux-image-3.0.0-rc1+' in `../linux-image-3.0.0-rc1+_3.0.0-rc1+-1_amd64.deb'. So you can say 'install the package(s) that this generates'. And note that the version is incremented each time.
