You can also use 'fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage'.

Are you sure that the "conflicts" are a problem ? I just run a cvs
update on the repository and there does not seem to be a problem.
The only "conflicts" I see are specific debian files which are
handled by dpkg-buildpackage, not any of the GRASS source.

If you want to clean up your source tree before an update, you can
run 'debian/rules clean' which should do a clean including
unpatching debian patches. Then the conflicts should disappear...

Sorry I couldn't give you above hints earlier, just stumbled upon
them myself.
