I know this has been linked in multiple places, but I'll link it again:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/1845159
there has also been a relevant thread in debian-devel a few months back,
spawned off the debian/.build thread started by Niels Thykier.
I'm not quite clear what's the best way forward: I could go and
implement whatever feels best to me in pbuilder, and then hope the rest
of the tooling with catch up, copy my idea and adapt, but that feels
unlikely…
