Hello,
Policy does not reflect reality for both build and clean targets. The
aim of the whole thing is to not require the build daemons to install
stuff needed only for building archtecture all packages. To do this
the buildds run dpkg-buildpackage -B. (#374029)
The working definition of Build-Depends(-Indep) is:
* Build-Depends: Everything needed for dpkg-buildpackage -B
* Build-Depends-Indep: Packages needed in addition to Build-Depends for
running dpkg-buildpackage -b
"dpkg-buildpackage -B" runs debian/rules clean, build and binary-arch.
"dpkg-buildpackage -b" runs debian/rules clean, build and binary.
