No, you'd have to do it by hand. a binNMU is just a rebuild of arch-any
packages (dpkg-buildpackage -B) after having added the extra changelog stanza
(which, since it's a binary arch-any only build, means that stanza doesn't go
into any source package)

It's probably not necessary for a private package, but that's essentially what
sbuild gives you. It's a "good hygiene" thing to do if you ever plan to share
packages.
