Debian's sbuild was changed sometime ago to always merge build-depends-indep for the build-dep install, rather than just if --arch-all was specified, since dpkg-buildpackage always calls build and not build-arch (for various semi-obvious historical reasons.)

We need this in order to be able to deal with crackful packages that follow the insanity documented in policy and use build-depends-indep. :-)
