you are not supposed to add DESTDIR=/.  as the message says:

ERROR: This target should not be used on a system installed from
packages.

the only reason DESTDIR=/ is suggested as a workaround is for extremely
uncommon edge cases where you can't depkgbasify the system normally.

i see someone else already provided the correct solution here.

(since this is not the first time this has come up, i am going to change
this message to be more forceful, probably along with another change to
make known-safe installkernels not require it.)
