Hearing no objections, I call for a TC vote on the following ballot: A. dpkg-buildpackage, when doing a binary-only build (-B), should probe the package with "make -qn" to see if the build-arch target appears to be implemented. If so, it should use "debian/rules build-arch" to build the package instead of "debian/rules build". If it detects via "make -qn" that the target is missing, it should output a warning asking the packager to implement the required targets, and then fall back to using "debian/rules build".
The fallback to "debian/rules build" and the "make -qn" auto-detection are temporary to ease the transition but should be dropped at some point (wheezy+1, or wheezy+2). Debian Policy should be updated to make build-arch and build-indep mandatory targets. B.
