Not unless it's contributed by community. The code which implements
the yum repos for spacewalk-repo-sync is at

	./backend/satellite_tools/repo_plugins/yum_src.py

I suggest you create something like

	./backend/satellite_tools/repo_plugins/debian_src.py

and put the logic in there. Then it should just be a matter of
creating the repo with the debian type and this plugin would kick
in.
