Same symptom here:

# make install
[...]
  DEPMOD  /lib/modules/7.2.0
  INSTALL /boot
run-parts: executing /usr/share/kernel/postinst.d/00-legacy-boot 7.2.0 /boot/vmlinuz-7.2.0
/usr/share/kernel/postinst.d/00-legacy-boot: 8: DEB_MAINT_PARAMS: parameter not set
run-parts: /usr/share/kernel/postinst.d/00-legacy-boot exited with return code 2
make[2]: *** [arch/x86/Makefile:313: install] Error 2
make[1]: *** [/usr/src/linux/Makefile:372: __build_one_by_one] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:248: __sub-make] Error 2
