Can I use debians `dch` / `devscripts` on a macOS to build a debian package?

This might be a very naive question and there might be no solution. But maybe someone had the same problem already:

Currently, in our project, we use something like

dch --force-distribution --force-bad-version -m -v "1.2.3" -D jessie "Automatic build"

and then

debuild -us -uc -b

We also use

debsign -k "123" "${CHANGES_FILE}"
dput my-debian "${CHANGES_FILE}"

We have a debian folder with nescessary information as for example the changelog file.

Is it possible to somehow do all that on a macOS machine? Or will I have to install a virtual linux machine?

I’ve seen that there is a dpkg for macOS installed via brew install dpkg but how to do that distribution and versioning with dpkg ? Is that even possible?

Thank you!
