No, I found that I need to use fakeroot for this to work. I did the
first run as normal user without fakeroot (don't know what drove me
there ;-) and the .changes wasn't there. Then I realized that this would
mess up permissions on the package contents and with fakeroot I got a
.changes-file.
See the output if make-jpkg:

Sure, even though this is just kind of playground, I like to put
self-built packages into a proper repository and I use debpool to create
the Packages file (and others). Now as this basically works like the
"real" debian scripts/software on incoming, I need a .changes for each
package I'd like to include. If I had more than 1 sid-box I probably
would use that repository in my small LAN, but the other Debian box is
just a plain router...
I think there are more people out there having such a repository for
their firm/organization/whatever and maybe some of them also built their
jdk-package with make-jpkg so this option is really a benefit. I even
filed a bugreport with kernel-package which doesn't have such an
option...
