One of the issue is that tools like sbuild and pbuilder which want to take advantage of the Build-Depends-Indep split needs to know whether dpkg-buildpackage will call debian/rules build or build-arch. So if you go that route, the exact criterium used by dpkg-buildpackage need to be published as an interface.
