I might be confused here, but my impression is that he complains about
packaging that is part of the kernel sources. That really makes it a
stretch to call it "his" packaging.

Let's see ... yes, scripts/packaging stuff ... assuming I parsed
MAINTAINERS correctly, that means it belongs to

KERNEL BUILD (kbuild: Makefile, scripts/Makefile.*)
P:      Sam Ravnborg
M:      sam@ravnborg.org
T:      git kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sam/kbuild-next.git
T:      git kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sam/kbuild-fixes.git
L:      linux-kbuild@vger.kernel.org
S:      Maintained

No?

I've never used that stuff myself. I prefer working with the (Debian)
kernel-package (make-kpkg) tool, which is also used to create the
distribution packages I believe, and which when I last used it
certainly had an active maintainer.
