I assume you meant "move... to Build-Depends-Indep" here :)

This is actually the best solution.  Yes, the bootstrap builds only
the arch-specific packages, it uses the ready-made arch:all packages
from the archive, so everything should be fine and there need be no
build-profile-specific changes to debian/control indeed.

I'll come back to you with a patch in a couple of hours.  Thanks!

G'luck,
Peter
