I don't think that this goal is worthwile in itself. We have defined dpkg-buildpackage to be the interface to build package and instead of changing once more the location of the logic we should rather modify dpkg-buildpackage to simplify calls to single targets (as already requested in #477916) and support properly all use cases. Requesting changes in all packages is unnecessary work IMO. People can change their habits if necessary.
