I checked, and dh currently doesn't support build-arch and build-indep
at all internally (you need to add the rules yourself). I've made a
patch to add proper support which I'll submit once I've tested it.
I've submitted a proposed change to Policy to require the use
of these targets (#604397), but we need at least 50% coverage first.
But, we'll get that as soon as dh and cdbs support it.
We also need a lintian check to warn if these targets are missing;
but I'm not at all familiar with hacking on lintian.

Roger
