FYI with the recent discussion, Bill Allombert completed the patch
that was supposed to implement this and I just merged it.
See 
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=dpkg/dpkg.git;a=commitdiff;h=14d48ef9abc2ce2d394e9ae4d69d4ba68b551620

That said, this should not forbid you to decide that there is a better
way to do it and I'd be happy to merge a patch that changes
dpkg-buildpackage to fallback to some auto-detection mechanism if the flag
is absent.

This would allow maintainers to use those targets without having to
explicitly add the flag.

Cheers,
