dpkg-source does not ignore it; the field is copied to the .dsc
when building the source package. BTW, it's not dpkg-source's
job to verify that Build-Depends are satisfied, as it's a /build/,
not /unpack/ depends.
dpkg-buildpackage ignores the field because it does not yet
support it. I heard rumours that sbuild code for handling
Build-Depends might be merged in dpkg-buildpackage, but don't
know what has happened about it.

No. sbuild (used by the build daemons) is the only build tool
that heeds Build-Depends currently.
