At the risk of asking a silly question: isn't that addressed by Build-Depends
vs Build-Depends-Indep?

Granted, I have more packages with Build-Depends: as they produce a binary,
but if I understand the problem, your bugreport can be taken care of at your
end.
But then maybe I just misunderstand. If so, just set me straight :)
