No, not really. My point is: "*some* of the people whose packages have
binary stanzas in debian/control which contain the correct set of binary
dependencies at the beginning of the build, are unhappy about having to
write said set twice".

I don't think nobody is suggesting inferring Build-Dependencies from
Depends field.
