 You don't need to have computing available yourself, you can use Salsa 
 CI (see link above) or Debusine (as Timo already did, thanks to him!). 
  
 If any of the dependencies don't compile, it will lead to a 
 fails-to-build-from-sources bug, which will eventually trigger 
 autoremoval from Debian. We already have ~2000 packages pending 
 autoremoval mostly due to build failures 
 (https://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/autoremovals.cgi) and we should be 
 diligent in updates and thoughtful on what is reasonable to push 
 through in what timeframe. Testing what happens to your reverse 
 dependencies before uploading is worth the extra effort.
