What's about dh_undocumented looking like:
------------------
#!/bin/bash
if [ $FORCE_UNDOCUMENTED = 1 ]; then
echo You are still using dh_undocumented which is obsoleted.
echo Stop it.
else
echo You are using obsoleted dh_undocumented in your debian/rules.
echo Please stop it and prepare a manpage for your package.
echo If you really want to build this package read (pointer to
documentation which explains how to set FORCE_UNDOCUMENTED or how to remove this from debian/rules and why using dh_undocumented is bad).
exit 1
fi
------------------
Pro:
- it is possible to build package with buildd or any other autobuilder
- human building package can force it to build too
- it requires an interaction from developer, but this interaction is not
time consuming
This is a good compromise between technical and social means to achieve a goal.
