Nope. dpkg-buildpackage is the overall shell wrapper for the entire
build process. This would have to be done in either dpkg-gencontrol or
as lines in debian/rules.
I have the following lines in the binary-arch target of perl's debian/rules:
dpkg-gencontrol -pperl
dpkg-gencontrol -pperl-suid -Pdebian/tmp-suid
dpkg-gencontrol -pperl-debug -Pdebian/tmp-dbg
the md5sum process would have to know about these special directories
whenever it was run. This is one reason it could be done in
dpkg-gencontrol. This is slightly odorous since dpkg-gencontrol should
only generate control files. Following the principal of least surprise
is almost always preferable. It might work to put it in the process of
dpkg-deb --build but Ian has expressed concern about the size of
dpkg-deb...
