It is a well known bug from upstream, in checkinstall version 1.6.1.

Version 1.6.0 ported from Edgy works perfectly. Since 1.6.1 is basically unusable, I'd strongly recommend to downgrade to version 1.6.0-2ubuntu1
http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/admin/checkinstall
It would be nice if the downgrade would be made available through the official repos.
