Mehdi proposed this approach:

diff --git a/debian/rules b/debian/rules
index 726227e..626b8d6 100755
--- a/debian/rules
+++ b/debian/rules
@@ -163,7 +163,9 @@ DEB_SCONS_INSTALL_TARGET = install=1
 
 build-indep: build-indep-stamp
 build-indep-stamp:
+ifneq (,$(findstring libcsound64-doc,$(shell dh_listpackages)))
 	doxygen
+endif
 	touch $@
 
 # Put aside upstream cruft before build but after licensecheck


TBH, this solution seems acceptable to me.
