That exactly what I recalled in my dream just after I went to bed :-)
Unless we do wacky undocumented tric, I find it difficult to make
debian/rules created by dh script to skip binary-indep actions and just
do binary-arch actions for buildd.
Conditional with DH_INTERNAL_OPTIONS may be a way... but is this
variable get only -a or -i? Besides, this is not documented.
Usually, skipping binary-indep actions provides a very small gain so not
so important. But If we have a source with its documentation in latex
and if we want to keep tex-live out of Build-Deps:, this is something we
may want.
Is there a package which use dh and which is properly packaged not to
build indep portion? I would like to know the trick people use.
