If scripts/package/mkdebian is updated in this way then I think
scripts/package/mkspec -> scripts/package/kernel.spec should be adjusted
as well for consistency.

File scripts/package/kernel.spec contains:
BuildRequires: (elfutils-libelf-devel or libelf-devel) flex

elfutils-libelf-devel is for Fedora/RH distros, libelf-devel is for
(open)SUSE.

If I'm looking correctly, a new dependency to make dwarf.h available for
both would be:
BuildRequires: elfutils-devel or libdw-devel
