A possible solution here would be to force the dpkg-deb operation to use a different compression format until https://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=892664 gets sorted out (patch proposal attached).
This would enable developers running Ubuntu to perform autopkgtest tests against Debian before submitting patches there.
