"without a .config in the source file"  means
KCONFIG_CONFIG will probably contain '..' or absolute path.



ex1)  KCONFIG_CONFIG=../my_dir/.config

ex2)  KCONFIG_CONFIG=/absolute/pass/to/my/.config

Did you notice the log 'Removing leading ...' from tar
for case ex1), ex2) ?


masahiro@grover:~/ref/linux$ make -j8  KCONFIG_CONFIG=../.config  deb-pkg
make clean
/bin/bash ./scripts/package/mkdebian
  TAR     linux-5.0.0+.tar.gz
tar: Removing leading `../' from member names
   ...


Even if I apply 3/3, it will produce a broken source package
since the tar will rip off the leading directory path,
then it mismatches to KCONFIG_CONFIG recorded in debian/rules.

A simple case like KCONFIG_CONFIG=my.config will work,
but I am not convinced with 3/3.
