If you have to do that, please do so. Packages must not use the
network during the build, other than installing the build-dependencies.
This is actually written in Release Policy.

Think about somebody building packages in a desert island and the
package failing because it can't connect to the outside world.

However, I don't deliberately disable network access in my
autobuilders, so if just by looking at my build log you remembered
that your package was doing network access, that's a good thing anyway :-)

[ While we are at it, please try uploading in source-only form
  (dpkg-buildpackage -S). It helps me a lot by preventing certain kind
  of bugs to propagate to testing (where I usually do my test builds).
  This also creates and keeps archived official build logs for the "all"
  architecture ].

Thanks.
