Ok, but then Build-Depends-Indep doesn't make sense without
build-indep target. Why it is present in debian/rules in trac-bitten?
Another side is that Build-Depends should not be processed, because
there is no build target also. But there is trac-bitten binary
package, so the build process somehow works. This kind of magic is not
explained in debian policy, and I am unable to see how this magic
works to tell if Build-Depends-Indep should be dropped.
