Thank you Philipp for your bug report and Jakub for your analysis.

Indeed, it looks like an omission in the patch closing #374029.

Would people be satisifed of the following change as a non-normative
correction, given that the build-arch and build-indep are already marked
required by the commit above ?


          The following targets are required and must be implemented
          by <file>debian/rules</file>: <tt>clean</tt>, <tt>binary</tt>,
-         <tt>binary-arch</tt>, <tt>binary-indep</tt>, and <tt>build</tt>.
+         <tt>binary-arch</tt>, <tt>binary-indep</tt>, <tt>build</tt>,
+         <tt>build-arch</tt> and <tt>build-indep</tt>.
          These are the targets called by <prgn>dpkg-buildpackage</prgn>.


PS: The autobuilder are still calling 'build' not 'build-arch', don't they ?

Have a nice day
