Very interesting, especially: 

!and since Build-Depends
!applies to the build target (Packaging Manual section 8.7), it means that
!very rarely can Build-Depends-Indep used,

I missed it. I had put tex-bin in the Build-Depends-Indep, but it is wrong
since the doc is compiled also when you do binary-arch.
