make-kpkg uses version.h to get UTS_RELEASE. UTS_RELEASE has
moved to utsrelease.h.

Right after you get the error, modify
debian/ruleset/misc/version_vars.mk

-UTS_RELEASE_VERSION=$(shell if [ -f include/linux/version.h ]; then \
- grep 'define UTS_RELEASE' include/linux/version.h | \
+UTS_RELEASE_VERSION=$(shell if [ -f include/linux/utsrelease.h ]; then \
+ grep 'define UTS_RELEASE' include/linux/utsrelease.h | \


And rerun your make-kpkg. The above is not a valid patch, you'll have
to hand change it.
