The problem is that stable-security is a separate archive, and requires
a sourceful upload. Give the '-sa' option to dpkg-buildpackage to
overrule the heuristic that says only -1 and -0 packages need to have
their source included.
Also see http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-pkgs#s-bug-security
which says to simply mail updated packages to the security team, and to
not normally upload them yourself. A subsection of this section has also
the answer to your question:
| Unless the upstream source has been uploaded to security.debian.org
