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

If needed, it would take me only 30 seconds to a minute to make a scons alias that outputs the names of all the files that are to be installed, to facilitate automatic manual copying.
