How to make custom DTMI model private for ADU

Question

We are using ADU to udpate our devices.

We currently have the modelId dtmi:azure:iot:deviceUpdateContractModel;1 set in DPS and our device. All the other ADU requirements are also met and we can see the device in the devices list in the "Update" section of the IoT Hub.

However, we want to define our own DTMI model for our device, something like:

dtmi:company:project:device;1 which extends the dtmi:azure:iot:deviceUpdateContractModel;1

This works fine in something like the Azure IoT Explorer, but now are devices won't get listed in the Groups& Deployments tab. I believe i need to make my device model public in the repository: https://github.com/Azure/iot-plugandplay-models/tree/main But i don't want to make it public

Is there a way to link a private repository to Azure Device Update so device can report some modelId other than dtmi:azure:iot:deviceUpdateContractModel;1
