For -S I'd have a use case (gbp tagging, and separate source build with
the same tool after testing the binaries), but I see how this breaks the
logic.  I do this now in a "--binary-indep --source-only-changes" run,
which is nearly as fast as the -S previously.

Now --binary-indep gives me exactly the same as -A in the past, so there
is a clean way to get the needed functionality.  Since -S is not
supported, I think it's less confusing to also not support -A.

So yes, I'm fine with that by now.

Maybe you could be even more explicit about the changes in NEWS. I'll
revisit the wiki page in the next days/weeks.
