And I would strongly suggest you to consider Simon Richter's proposal,
which sounds a lot cleaner to me: if you have build-depends-indep in
your debian/control file, you must also implement build-arch and/or
build-indep.
Additionally, that has the advantage that most packages probably already
implement it that way.
