Policy §4.9 explains:

  Both binary-* targets should depend on the build target, or on the
  appropriate build-arch or build-indep target, if provided, so that
  the package is built if it has not been already. It should then
  create the relevant binary package(s), using dpkg-gencontrol to make
  their control files and dpkg-deb to build them [...]

Do any packages violate that?
