Binary package hint: checkinstall

checkinstall-1.6.2 can fail package creation because of inability to create a new directory and or dir/subdir.

It doesn't appear to be that it can't at all, but in most cases it will fail.
Am attaching a simple case - building static x264 where checkinstalled failed as such

"install: cannot change permissions of `/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig': No such file or directory"

After manually creating /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig the .deb creation was successful

Have another Ex. on other pc where it failed to create 5 out of 9 or 10 dir/subdir, though it did create some of them..
