No. Not without becoming britney or edos-debcheck, or receiving input
from them.
Which is a reason for using an external source: you can have it
dd-writable, and see how that goes (equivalent to having it in
debian/control); you can have it maintained by several people, and see
how that goes; or you can have edos-debcheck/britney generate the list,
and see how that goes.
