That's a possibility, yes.

If OTOH you only want to check for installability, you might simply run
dose-distcheck on the involved packages (similarly to what the buildds
do, except they do that for build dependencies, while you likely want to
do that for binary package dependencies). Doing so might be simpler than
having to support other britney runs/installations.

Cheers.
