No, it builds all the content for arch:all and non-arch:all, but only creates the non-arch:all binaries. The issue is that there's currently no way for the buildds to say "Only build the non-arch:all content" since the only required build target is "build". You can work around it, as has been pointed out in this thread, by moving arch:all stuff outside of the build target to something which the binary-indep target has a pre-requisite on, but then you're building as root. -- James GPG Key: 1024D/61326D40 2003-09-02 James Vega <jamessan@debian.org>
