Did you install the package after building it? If you don't install it, 
you can't use it. You can install the new package with the command

sudo dpkg -i filename.deb

where you replace the filename.deb with the newly created package file.

That may be the case, however the shell doesn't look there but only in 
the directories in your $PATH.
