Bug#374029: Fixing inconsisten and unusefull Build-Depends/Conflicts definition

[Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@gmx.net>]

One question to ask is perhaps whether splitting the build dependencies 
into several sets is useful at all, considering that the current state 
of having effectively only one useful set has persistent for such a 
long time.

Not a lot of people really understand the current definition, and this 
proposal introduces even more ways of getting things wrong.  Not a lot 
of people practice local architecture-only rebuilds or some of the 
other corner cases that would be induced by this proposal.  I'm afraid 
that this will just introduce more hard-to-detect bugs, and all the 
upload and rebuild time caused thereby will probably outweigh the 
download time saved by the buildds.
