We have 2 of these bugs now (#352775 and #352779). According to 
debian/rules:

# We aren't actually able to build arch-indep independently from
# arch-dep, so we guarantee that the arch build has been done first
build-indep: build-indep-stamp
build-indep-stamp: configure-stamp build-arch

Thus, our indep target can not be built without the arch-dependent 
target, and thus we need the Build-Depends-Indep dependencies to be in 
Build-Depends, or to fix the rules. I did the first with r195. If this 
solution is acceptable, can we have an upload soonish? If we'd rather 
fix the rules file (probably a better solution, although I'm not sure 
why this was done in the first place), I don't know that I know I trust 
doing it myself without any guidance, so someone would either have to 
give me a hint or do it themselves.

Cheers,
Benjamin
