Of cause there is, about a million of them.
Check out
man dpkg-scanpackages
man apt-ftparchive
dak on cvs.debian.org
mirrorer project on alioth
apt-cache show mini-dinstall
debpool from experimental
the debian-amd64 archive tools
sourcerer-kernel-builder
for some starting points.
The way to go is not to use dpkg -i blindly but to put your build debs
somwhere so you can use a proper frontent like apt-get or aptitude.
