Jokes aside, your request is what exactly?
You want me to hop on the Debian Developer learning curve, set up suitable
systems and jump through the relevant hoops? I'd prefer to believe that
you were joking rather than simply unreasonable.
Is there finally no Debian Developer with a physical machine on which to
test a Debian package?

Those are the tools of a Debian Developer (or equivalent). The test that
you want me to do is very difficult for me to arrange and very easy for
such an individual. I work on upstream code not Debian code.
BTW, I am not in a position to test any upstream code on physical hardware
either.
I've just moved out of the house I was caretaking and all my machines are
in storage except for this x86 laptop. So right now I have no space or
facilities with which to set up any physical hardware to run a job that
may require a week of execution.
Hopefully that will change, but I don't know when.
