Perhaps the --rootcmd doesn't work as expected?
I think you unwittingly mentioned the key -- "as expected". When you specify --rootcmd on the make-kpkg command line, make-kpkg calls fakeroot (or whatever) at certain points in the script. When you do "fakeroot make-kpkg ..." make-kpkg itself runs under fakeroot, so a root environment is provided whenever necessary, instead of "as expected" by make-kpkg's author.
