[Pkg-javascript-devel] Time to switch to "Build-Depends-Indep" ?

Hi all,

currently we use Build-Depends to push all our dependencies. This makes
Multi-Arch reports a lot of problems while most of our packages are
scripts only.

As other languages, I think we should use Build-Depends-Indep for all
Javascript dependencies. Example:

  Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (= 12)
  Build-Depends-Indep: pkg-js-tools (>= 0.9.20~)
   , node-tap <!nocheck>
   , ...

But perhaps am I wrong here ?
Experimented DD advises are welcome ;-)
