(I think you mean _experienced_ in last sentence above ;-) )
As I understand it, B-D-Indep should be used _only_ when a source
package builds _both_ architecture-dependent and
architecture-independent binary packages, and is then used to indicate
which build-deoendencies can be skipped when only building the
arch-independent parts.
In other words, not "for all Javascript dependencies" (if I understand
it correctly).
