I want to build the source package in the distro where it's going to be uploaded, using tools from only that distro. This may make a difference if I get a .debian.tar.gz or .debian.tar.xz (or .diff.gz vs. .diff.xz ?). And I want to build the source package in a clean minimal chroot, not upload something built in my non-minimal mixed-distro host :-) So far I always used --debbuildopts -S for a final source-only build that was going to be uploaded (after doing testing binary builds). --binary-indep is not working as a "workaround" if the package builds no arch:all packages.
