Once you do it, it is not too much work.

pbuilder set up for local package is easier if archive is http 
accessible, then OTHERMITRRPOS in ~/.pbuilderrc can simply be set as:

# include my mirrors (No file://)
OTHERMIRROR="deb http://people.debian.org/~osamu/package/ ./"
# (Use your account name of course)

Then you upload to people.d.o with dupload with simple script.  In my
case, "dupload -t osamu package.changes" with ~/.dupload.conf
