An added wrinkle is that -S doesn't build arch specific debs at all, of course, but a responsible user of this new DAK feature will want to build debs, lintian and test the locally, but not upload them. I think this calls for more than a generic filling in of the complements to -S. It's fine to add those options to dpkg-genchanges, but dpkg-buildpackage would be improved by an option that built everything, and then told dpkg-genchanges to only put source and arch:all in the changes. -- see shy jo
