Yes, it looks sane even if it's only a partial solution since we do not support yet proper tagging of build-dependencies to know whether we need the package for the host or the build architecture (which also explains why dpkg-buildpackage doesn't call dpkg-checkbuilddeps when it's called with -a). Can you please include in your patch the manual page update corresponding to your change?
