If this is your workflow that's fine for me.

I do not see any bad effects (but I did not used plain dpkg-buildpackage
so I might overlook something).  I simply have a gbp based workflow with
pbuilder which I consider very important - actually pbuilder/sbuild are
so important to me that I never consider the plain old build on local
machine any more.  This fits well into my gbp setup but I can't really
imagine any conflict.

Not sure whether you are meeting the experts for this question here.
