You can, as soon as it's reported by rmadison, but you have to drive the
sync request manually (-C) if the changelog isn't available yet. There's
a bug filed about making that easier (LP: #693077).
Debian only does dinstalls 4 times a day [0], unlike Ubuntu which
publishes every 20 minutes (IIRC). After upload acceptance (which is
when the bug closing is done), the packages are available at [1].
[0]: http://ftp-master.debian.org/
[1]: http://incoming.debian.org/
We could make requestsync look at incoming when you provide a version
which isn't reported by rmadison yet.

This sounds like something to be fixed in ubuntu-dev-tools.
