It is an advantage: I do "debian/rules binary" by hand quite a lot in testing packages, and only run dpkg-buildpackage on the final result. For some package I only call debian/rules to build subpackages instead of all binaries. If I was forced to used dpkg-buildpackage everytime I'ld loose a lot of flexibilty which would really annoy me.
