The proposal also contains suggestions for dpkg-buildpackage to savely
and reliably detect when to use build-arch. If policy is changed,
whatever way, to solve this dpkg-buildpackage can only use that
solution for package following the new policy. So a test for the
standard version (or a new control file field) will be needed. I don't
see a way around that.
