Because the md5sum does not match that of the 'real' version. You should either put the package on hold in dselect(does dist-upgrade respect holds?). Or add an entry to the debian/changelog and increase the version number before you build the package. Not sure what is the best versioning scheme, maybe follow the NMU rules of adding a .X version to the last version.
