If it does not need to be sbuild, my pbuilder setup has an hook that
allows me to have a local directory as apt repo for pbuilder. Any deb placed
in this directory will be available during pbuilder build...
Kind of https://wiki.debian.org/PbuilderTricks#How_to_include_local_packages_in_the_build,
but my setup uses just one directory, not a per-project one..
