Well, I prefer to give up, sorry. There is a huge backlog of discussion on related issues (see #72335 and #88111) and I don't want to resurrect a dead flamewar. Also I never get answer from the dpkg team on my proposal at the end of #148932. So yes, I give up. As for your solution, this is a matter of taste between cleanness in the code and cleaness in what is done. I prefer the later. Not having the buildd installing tons of unneeded packages reduce build problems and make the logs more readable, and your solution does not solve the problem of failure of the build-indep on some architectures.
