Using dpkg -b directly is still not the right way to build a package. If you don't want to distribute a source package, that's fine don't distribute it. But a debian binary package should always be built from source package, it's the best way to create a policy compliant package because you will use the same tools that all Debian developers are using to create official packages. And then you will have no problem with dpkg-genchanges... it's only designed to work from within an unpacked source package.
