Since an interactive debian/rules script makes it impossible to
auto-compile that package and also makes it hard for other people to
reproduce the same binary package, all required targets must be
non-interactive. At a minimum, required targets are the ones called by
dpkg-buildpackage, namely, clean, binary, binary-arch, binary-indep,
and build. It also follows that any target that these targets depend
on must also be non-interactive.

So if buildd calls binary-arch then it can build only architecture
packages.
