How to do a test sbuild with additional package, not in the repositories?

It is only 2 packages. How about this for an idea?

Use /etc/schroot/sbuild/copyfiles
to copy the .dep files into the sbuild chroot

then use --pre-build-commands "dpkg -i my.dep"
on the command line to install the additional packages.

Do you think it would work?

What would go wrong? What should I lookout for?

Thank You for your help.
