the last time I tried this I did not work because sbuild used on the autobuilders did not confirm to policy (has this changed?). See the thread starting at http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2006/12/msg00252.html > Go back to your cowbuilder login, cd to root/ and run "dpkg-source -x > foo.dsc".

The problem is that sbuild invokes the build target (which also depends on build-indep), but does not pay attention to Build-Depends-Indep.
