Policy 7.6 does, as quoted in my original report. A bigger excerpt
reads (notice the "must be satisfied"):

"The dependencies and conflicts [Build-Depends, Build-Depends-Indep,
 Build-Conflicts, and Build-Conflicts-Indep] must be satisfied (as
 defined earlier for binary packages) in order to invoke the targets in
 debian/rules, as follows:

"Build-Depends, Build-Conflicts

        "The Build-Depends and Build-Conflicts fields must be satisfied when
         any of the following targets is invoked: build, clean, binary,
         binary-arch, build-arch, build-indep and binary-indep."

Do you disagree that the above section of Debian Policy requires
Build-Depends to be installed before invoking ./debian/rules clean?
