As the upstream bug is still unfixed and there's no Debian or Ubuntu fix (other than not using the important fstrans=yes option), this is unsurprisingly still a problem in Trusty and no doubt later versions through to Yakkety.

Simple test:

# checkinstall -D --fstrans=yes mkdir -p /usr/doc/test
...
Installing with mkdir -p /usr/doc/test...

========================= Installation results ===========================
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/usr/doc’: No such file or directory

**** Installation failed. Aborting package creation.

Cleaning up...OK

Bye.
