[Grml] checkinstall still broken?

Hi

When I saw the following checkinstall error messages [1], I tried to
update my checkinstall. But, I realized that the errors are still not
fixed [2].

Can somebody confirm that checkinstall is still broken?

Is there alternative solutions?

I noticed a package obsoleted by checkinstall named installwatch,
but that one is not usable either:

 % installwatch -o filename make install
 cp subs blib/script/...
 make: *** [blib/script/...] Segmentation fault

thanks
