Hi!

Niels Thykier noticed that equivs makes direct use of debian/rules, in
reference to the discussion about a possible switch of official build
entry point.

But when I checked the code, I didn't see why this would be even ideal
right now? Doing the direct call means it will be missing several checks,
and possible optimizations.

Why not replace the «fakeroot debian/rules binary» executed possibly
via dpkg-architecture -c, with a proper call to «dpkg-buildpackage -b»?
Possibly with just -a<arch> appended?

Thanks,
Guillem
