So how about modifying the wording to say: Build-Depends, Build-Conflicts The Build-Depends and Build-Conflicts fields describe binary dependencies and conflicts which must be satisfied when making the build, binary, binary-arch and binary-indep targets. Build-Depends-Indep, Build-Conflicts-Indep The Build-Depends-Indep and Build-Conflicts-Indep fields describe binary dependencies and conflicts which must be satisfied when making the binary and binary-indep targets.
