    dpkg-buildpackage: Fix logic to decide whether to call the build targets
    
    The build targets never require root, so checking them will always return
    false. We need to key on the binary target instead.
    
    This broke tons of packages that are violating Debian policy MUSTs.
    
    Thanks-to: James Clarke <jrt...@debian.org>
    Closes: #878899
