Thank you all very much! As some of you commented, the error was solved using "(export LANG=C; make-kpkg ...)": my LANG variable was set to "spanish". I have searched in the docs of kernel-source, kernel-doc and kernel-package and I have found nothing about taking into account the variable LANG. I am considering to report a warning for package maintainers!
