Hum, I think that is because checkinstall is executed as root.

I've tried:
        fakeroot checkinstall -D scons install
and
        checkinstall --fstrans -D scons install
Both produce an error, but nevertheless build the package. Yet when I try to 
install them, they fail because they try to overwrite g++, which is of utmost 
nastyness.

If anyone manage to get this thing working properly, we should put on the wiki 
the correct checkinstall command line, with correct description and 
dependencies.

The normal way to do debian package is through debian/rules which do change 
some permissions in the process. We can write handcrafted script that copies 
files by hand. That is trivial, but takes some time. If somewant want to do 
it, I've attached an example to this mail.

Have a nice day,

Steph
