[2] and [3] are "obsolete" in the sense that dpkg currently carries a
work around to detect if the build-arch / build-indep targets are
present. If that can be reliably detected for your d/rules then you
shouldn't have a problem with adding/using these targets[4].

[4] Either explicit targets (e.g. "build-arch:") and the catch-all
target "%" works just fine AFAIK.
