Thanks for pointing this out.  Indeed, the build-dependencies are
potentially modified in all of those targets (including just "clean"),
and this has been against the RC policy since etch (most likely
introduced at a later time than the previous discussion on this bug).

So I'm upgrading the severity to serious on those grounds, if there
are no objections.
