If you are not putting them in the artifacts, then no, it's not
possible.

Indeed, `dch` under ubuntu behaves differently than on Debian. If you
rely on the behaviour of dch to not change amongst different vendors,
you should use the `--vendor` option of dch (we had several test
failures due to that also in the testsuite of dch itself!).
If you wish, I can also apply a patch and try to upload it to ubuntu, so
you avoid boring round-trips through the debian archive (which take a
full day until it gets to ubuntu and then get tested, etc). Alas I
never set up a local environment for autopkgtest. I know it's also
possible to have autopkgtest.ubuntu.com try out packages from
Launchpad's PPAs, but that also I never tried :|
