Yes.

As long as you keep the Debian revision at 0, everything is fine 
and there should be no conflicts, if the binary package names in 
Debian and your repo match. Please just don't increase the Debian 
revision to something bigger than zero, that can result in 
breakage.
You could use a revision like "-0~1" or "-0.1" when making 
changes to the package without a new upstream releases.
But that seems to be the case already, so there's no problem here 
:-)
