Damn!! I had ended up spending a lot of time in the night thinking why this 
error was triggered during iscsitarget package build time.

dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture amd64
 fakeroot debian/rules clean
[: 1: -le: unexpected operator
[: 1: -le: unexpected operator
[: 1: -le: unexpected operator

[: 1: -lt: unexpected operator
dh_testdir
dh_testroot
rm -f build-arch-stamp build-indep-stamp #CONFIGURE-STAMP#
/usr/bin/make -C usr clean

So it happens because the same rules file is share by both. And during 
iscsitarget package build time, KVERS is not available. Sigh!! Sometimes you 
just got to go sleep when something does not work. :-)


I have pushed the change and will prepare an upload soon. Thanks for your 
effort.

Regards,
Ritesh
