first, sorry for not seeing this earlier.
If there is going to be an upstream repo for everyone to use, I highly advice against building binary only packages. (The «-b» switch)
I am one of those that utterly refuse to install a package (deb or rpm) if the source package is not available, and I know that I am not alone in this.
If one want to make changes or customize the deb package, one can run «apt-get source <package>» and it will fetch the sources and prepare for local build.
(No, the tarball is not enough, we want the source packages also)
