debootstrap actually supports ssh option, so it should be possible to specify 'ssh'.

However, we don't allow user input within pbuilder session, and I
think that would be a problem considering password handling.

Have you actually tried running it? I think it will fail asking for
password input.

I have a vague feeling that if you can bind-mount ssh-agent stuff
under /tmp/, and correctly set environment variables it might work.
