I suspect you mean circular _build_-dependencies.

In my understanding, circular build-dependencies are not addressed by 
weakening the regular build process (that sounds really bad!) but 
instead by flagging packages that are optional for various bootstrapping 
purposes.

Most commonly, flag packages used only for running tests, like this:

Build-Depends:
 debhelper-compat (= 12),
 help2man <!nodoc>,
 mocha <!nocheck>,
 node-ajv <!nocheck>,
 node-babel7 <!nocheck>,


(sorry, I have no comments on the main issue you raised here)
