No.

If only the binary-indep or binary-arch targets are built, then you
have different files in debian/tmp (the frst package). Have a look at
the debhelper example files. They have a build target (as before) and
install target where the files are installed and move to other temp
directories. The both binary targets then depend on build and install.
