Actually, it turns out that bug #72335 (accepted) already contained
this, but that I didn't actually implement it in policy.  So I'm going
to add it after woody is released ('cos policy is frozen).  But in the
meantime, autobuilders would do well to use Build-Depends-Indep fields
as well when running the build target (which is the main significant
change here).
