It doesn't make any sense because it /is/ broken, but we are trying
to rectify this. Hopefully for the next Debian stable release, we'll
have a sane situation. I've also got a separate dpkg patch to
introduce Build-Depends-Arch, so you will then be able to use
Build-Depends for generic depends e.g. debhelper, and move the
arch- and indep-specific deps into their own place.
