Withouth giving to much thought to it:
The build-target should probably continue to depend on both build-arch
and build-indep (if they are used), so I guess Build-Depends-Indeps
should be installed as well if the build target gets invoked?
Would we really need a policy change if dpkg-buildpackage was modified
to simply call build-arch instead of build? Which would mean the build
target does not get invoked and Build-Depends-Indep do not need to be
installed.
