No, just plain buster.

Note that 2.2-6 still uses a deprecated debhelper compat level, this has
been changed in git.

If you need a backport for buster, you may need to cherry-pick some
unreleased commits from the master branch.

git-buildpackage, it's the tools we use to build packages from the git
repo. See:

 https://wiki.debian.org/PackagingWithGit

Or a more specific guide that includes setting up the cowbuilder chroots:

pbuilder & cowbuilder are not automated build daemons, they are chroot
environments to ensure that the package is built in a clear environment
just like on the official build daemons (which use sbuild instead of
pbuilder).

Kind Regards,
