The pbuilder in git gained a --binary-indep too since a couple of days,
btw :)

well, I'm the pbuilder maintainer, I'm way too biased to reply to this

well, it's just a single line, but ok. Since the dependencies are
installed anyway (as they are in Build-Depends) this is not a problem.

Yeah, it's something very very new.
support in dpkg is quite old (since 1.16.4, 2012), sbuild supports it
since even before (!) (since fall 2011), pbuilder support is instead
very new (some months ago, I added it after we noticed failures in
reproducible testing, before i was not even aware of that field).
All in all, a bit more than 2 years are not that much in debian terms of
time :)
Then, it's not in debian policy yet, but debian policy lags way too much
behind reality to be considered for these cases...
