Actually not: source packages can differ depending on what
release they are built on.

This is another good point. While there’s -d, the clean stage
often fails with it, and sometimes, there are build dependencies
on debhelper things (needed for clean) that require a certain
init system to be installed, thus doing this in a chroot is sane.
That being said, I personally just do…
DIST=something cowbuilder --login
… and run the dpkg-buildpackage -S (after installing the needed
B-D) in it, then copy out the stuff from /v/c/pb/build/*/.
