Isn't that wrong? I think Build-Indep-{Depends,Conflicts} apply only
to 'binary-indep' (and transitive to 'binary'), but not to 'build'.
Otherwise, you'd have to install Build-Indep-Depends also for the pure
build...
Except that (probable) leftover from the previous version, I formally
second the proposal.
