It seems more consistent with current practice to define "build-nonfree" and "binary-nonfree" targets that build the packages that require non-free components in addition to the normal set of packages. dpkg-buildpackage can then have an option to invoke these instead of the regular ones. Of course, these targets only make sense for packages in main. Their existence should be optional. Is there a way to query make for the existence of a target?
