That was pretty quick. Thanks.

It's software so just about anything is possible BUT
I'm not aware of anyone who has tried that and it would
be lots of very careful work to precisely duplicate all
the package versions.
People have tried to go in the other direction of using
Debian software as input to a Yocto build:
https://github.com/meta-debian/meta-debian
The work in that layer seems dated.
Why can't you use the native Ubuntu tools to build software for Ubuntu?
You could use Yocto to build and maintain the packages you are
interested in and the put them in a container to be run on Ubuntu.
Perhaps you can explain your higher level goals here and someone
might comment on whether it makes sense to use Yocto at all.
-> If I can get the sources for my target machines distro, is
there a way I can setup yocto to use that as base and build the
apps/libraries for it?
The usual way of doing that would be to use a supported BSP such as one
from:
https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/meta-intel/
or a commercial Yocto distribution provider some of whom are listed here:

Good luck,
