Ah, that's indeed a nice idea.

There's a comment in the source:
# uhmf! dpkg-genchanges doesn't cope with the deb being in another dir..
#system("dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc " . $self->cfg->dbflags) == 0
system("fakeroot make -C $maindir -f debian/rules clean");
system("fakeroot make -C $maindir -f debian/rules binary") == 0
|| die "Cannot create deb package\n";
which sounds like there seemed to be some problems with
dpkg-buildpackage.
Cheers,
gregor
