Then just do

make deb-pkg

You could read more about the make system used by the kernel

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

or in the directory

$ less README 

so according Documentation/kbuild/kbuild.txt

KBUILD_DEBARCH
--------------------------------------------------
For the deb-pkg target, allows overriding the normal heuristics deployed by
deb-pkg. Normally deb-pkg attempts to guess the right architecture based on
the UTS_MACHINE variable, and on some architectures also the kernel config.
The value of KBUILD_DEBARCH is assumed (not checked) to be a valid Debian
architecture.
