Bug#266345: This modification is not always desirable



Hi,

I think it is a bit extreme to implement the change to mandate 
the check for build-deps since:

A. dpkg-buildpackage doesn't have to check every single point in policy, 
  dpkg-buildpackage isn't a lint program.

B. it will make 'dpkg-buildpackage -S' to run slower

C. it will break a few existing uses of 'dpkg-buildpackage -S'
  (namely that of building source package where build-depends is 
  not satisfied)


If this change is to be implemented, I would like it to be 
optional, or give an option to suppress the error to a warning.

regards,
	junichi
