No, old Standards-Version is not a bug.  Not specifying Build-Deps is
legal according to policy, and therefore not a bug.

Build all of them.  It shouldn't take that much time on a fast system,
I'd guess about a week on something like a PIII-800 or equivalent.
The biggest job is going through the build logs, I'd imagine.
