Technically sbuild can also build source packages (with sbuild --source,
and optionally --no-arch-any --no-arch-all) - I use that in
<https://salsa.debian.org/smcv/vectis>, to make sure I get a pedantically
"clean" source package that is identical to what building in the target
distribution would have done. However, yes, that requires building
a temporary source package outside sbuild, and transferring that into the
build chroot in order to have sbuild rebuild it.
