FWIW, my plan about #218893 is to issue another proposal in November,
which will change policy to implement what the buildd are doing, instead
of changing policy so that buildd can implement policy
(basically adding the requirement that having a Build-Depends-Indep
control field imply support the build-arch target.)
I would like to mention that:
1) Writing such proposal correctly is some work.
2) We are busy releasing so discussing that now seems a distraction, and
policy is frozen anyway,
3) The common position of dpkg maintainers is not clear.
4) The fact that I issue a new proposal should not be taken as
implying I prefer the new one over the (great) old ones.
