This reverts commit b052ce4c84 ("kbuild: fix false positive -dirty
tag caused by make-kpkg").
If I understand correctly, this problem occurred in very old versions
of make-kpkg. When I tried a newer version, make-kpkg did not touch
scripts/package/Makefile.
Anyway, Debian uses 'make deb-pkg' instead of make-kpkg these days.
Debian handbook [1] mentions it as "the good old days":
"CULTURE The good old days of kernel-package
Before the Linux build system gained the ability to build proper
Debian packages, the recommended way to build such packages was to
use make-kpkg from the kernel-package package."

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
