So what?  dpkg-buildpackage already makes use of the appropriate binary
target, so there's no additional requirement for it.  All I'm suggesting
is to skip the build step (ie. comment out line 364), since it is
uneccessary and will be handled by the makefile dependancies.

I only wish I had access to resources so that I could test this against
the entire archive.
