  Is it a package that is already in buildroot or a new one?  If it is
already in buildroot, do you create MYPACKAGE under the same name or a
different name?  Did you change the version number from what is in buildroot?
Is you .mk file even included by buildroot?  Is MYPACKAGE selected in the
.config?

  If you want to debug what is happening, use

make -p mypackage 2&>1 | less

  That gives you a dump of all the variables and rules defined by the
Makefiles.  You should see a lot of variables MYPACKAGE_... =
(if that is not the case, you're missing $(eval $(generic-package))).
You should see MYPACKAGE_SITE = ... as you defined it.
You should see mypackage in TARGETS (if not, it's not selected in
.config).  You should also see rules like:

mypackage-build: mypackage-configure .../mypackage-1.0.1/.stamp_built

.../mypackage-1.0.1/.stamp_built:
# PKG = MYPACKAGE
#  commands to execute (from `package/pkg-generic.mk', line 107):
         @$(call MESSAGE,"Building")
         $($(PKG)_BUILD_CMDS)
         $(foreach hook,$($(PKG)_POST_BUILD_HOOKS),$(call $(hook))$(sep))
         $(Q)touch $@
