With the applied check for debhelper, it should reduce the number of
warnings. 

I think we should propose a change to policy, the current state of § 7.6
is not acceptable [1]. After the issue with the clean target is solved,
the whole thing should make much more sense. [2]

Footnotes: 
[1]  clean is defined as arch-dependent target of debian/rules;
     Build-Depends-Indep does not have to be satisfied when clean is
     called.

[2]  And thus, this check should have no false positives, as the
     remaining arch-dependent targets would be binary-arch and
     build-arch. These should never be used in an arch: all package.
