The problem is that build-indep and build-arch are not required targets, and there is no easy way of checking whether they exist. It was suggested to make these targets a requirement, but so far nobody dared to push the issue: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=218893 Maybe now, with the DEP process, this is something that could be tackled? I for one would very much welcome such a change.
