I agree it would be nice to mention that - but more importantly is the trick of using dpkg-buildpackage flags -d and -b. README.source is the proper place: its purpose is exactly to document unusual stuff related to _building_ packages (it is irrelevant for the _users_ of the package). What would be even better is to add a hint to control file which exact packages can be skipped to generate a crippled-but-usable-for-rebuild package. I forgot what that hint is called or its syntax (even if I was at the meeting in Cambridge when its name was decided): Try ask at emdebian or search the wiki for it.
