Quoting from 
<http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#s-debianrules>
The following targets are required... :
        clean,
        binary,
        binary-arch,
        binary-indep,
        build.
...
build (required)
build-arch (required), build-indep (required)

According to the lintian description in <http://lintian.debian.org/tags/debian-rules-missing-recommended-target.html> "build-arch" and "build-indep" should be added to the paragraph above as required targets.

Lintian is wrong: the official policy is the one written in debian-policy not in the lintian code.

So much confusion in a single bug...

Lintian is "wrong", because it still says that build-* are only recommeneded. This is bug #657390.

Policy is also "wrong" because it doesn't include build-* in the list of required targets, despite that they are described as required in other place.
