Might be possible, but it would require major changes to debian/rules, but
our goal is to keep debian/rules as simple as possible without any stuff
you wouldn't expect in a Debian package.

Before adding any ugly stuff to debian/rules I would rather let an
external build script to the dirty work. That's just harder to integrate
into our pbuilder build process.
