What you're quoting is not relevant: that deals with *satisfying*
Build-{Depends,Conflicts}, not what to put in there.
The relevant section is IMHO:
/---
| Source packages that require certain binary packages to be installed or absent
| at the time of building the package can declare relationships to those binary
| packages.
| This is done using the Build-Depends, Build-Depends-Indep, Build-Conflicts
| and Build-Conflicts-Indep control file fields.
\---
See *at the time of building the package*. This is clearly on buildds (thus, on
clean chroots, even if not specified) for arch: any packages, and on
maintainer's box for arch: all packages (suppposing one would upload source +
binary packages) -- and, in fact, it's maintainer's duty to check FTBFS bugs on
clean sid pbuilder/cowbuilder environments.
Thus, my argument is still there.
Bringing this on -devel, so to have suggestions from other people as well :)
Kindly,
David
