What is a kpkg?

There is no actionable information in this bug report. I don't
see a Makefile, or a test case, or even a way to reproduce the
issue. Since Make is used every day to build Debian packages in the
build daemons, and by countless other people, I don;t think you need to
worry about it being thrown to the wolves.
Please document what you did, what the correct responses were,
the state of the target and the prerequisites, or any way the
problem can be demonstrated and reproduced, and attach to information
to this report.
Thanks for your interest in Make, and your attempts to make it
better. It is appreciated.
