with dpkg 1.17.2 we now have support for build profiles in dpkg. Build

allow to enable or disable dependencies and build or not build binary

Before packages with above syntax can be uploaded, we have to make

wanna-build, dak and sbuild support them.
The more general issue is that you need dpkg in stable to support them.
A lot of Debian infrastructure that touches source packages runs on
stable (for fairly obvious reasons) and expects things like
"dpkg-source -x" o just work[tm].
