How have you told apt-get about your package?  If you don't place it in
a repository, then apt-get has no way to know.  If you build the debs
and just want to install them, use `dpkg -i *.deb`.  If you want to
create a repository for using these packages on more than one system,
check out my HOWTO:

(Note: There are other ways to accomplish the same, but my howto walks
you through step by step, which is very nice for understanding how
repositories are structured.)
