Similar to LP #78455 (see comment #10 by andrew.46). Adding --fstrans=no to the checkinstall command may avoid the "install: cannot change permission..." error.

/etc/checkinstallrc for Lucid:
# Are we going to use filesystem translation?
TRANSLATE=1

/etc/checkinstallrc for Meerkat:
# Are we going to use filesystem translation?
TRANSLATE=0
