Well, why don't you just use an Ubuntu mirror inside the pbuilder chroot? If
you're building Ubuntu package, I'd say that's the way to go...

You might as well add an Ubuntu deb line to your sources.list and pin it to
-1. You can still manually install any package from that source while no
package will be pulled in automatically.

I really don't see any reason to include such packages in Debian.
