Ok, then I suggest to go ahead with the attached patch. If I don't hear
any objections, I'll push it later this week.
This one uses build-arch/build-indep by default but falls back to build
if "make -qn" says the target is not supported.
The number of packages broken by this change is relatively small according
to the rebuilds of Roger (~100 out of all the arch-any packages, probably
twice that big if we include arch-all packages). And this number might
have decreased since the tests given that lintian has been advising
maintainers to add the build-arch/build-indep targets.
This means that build-arch/build-indep ought to be mandatory for all
packages from now on.
(We could have argued to use build-arch/build-indep only for packages
which build both arch any&all binaries but that would create an assymetry
with the way the binary target is handled and IMO it's best avoided)

I think you're rather optimistic, this transition will not be completed
before the release of wheezy.

dpkg-buildpackage: use build-arch and build-indep targets of debian/rules
'build-arch' is used when building only arch-any binaries (-B)
while 'build-indep' is used when building only arch-all binaries (-A).
To avoid breaking too many packages, dpkg-buildpackages verifies that
those targets are implemented by calling “make -f debian/rules -qn
<target>” and ensuring that it doesn't fail with exit code 2. Otherwise
it fallsback to using the 'build' target.
This fallback is a temporary measure until all packages have been
converted to properly support the build-arch and build-indep targets.
