Yes, dpkg-scanpackages is better; for one thing it works :)

But for a local debug "repo" it may be better to avoid generating the
Release and InRelease files as otherwise you also need to register
your repo key. Without those, apt is happy enough to use the Packages
file.

Of course if you publish your .deb the Release and InRelease files
as well as the key would be needed.
