I don't think its so easy: d-i-n-i are arch:all packages, but need binaries for all architectures. To get these as build-dependencies we would need cross-arch build-deps which we don't have so far. Alternatively building a subset of arch:all packages on every architecture would also work, but that would require (at least) support for the buildd network building arch:all packages on package-specific architectures ("Build-Architecture-Indep" might find relevant threads).
