It will always work, FTP Masters nor dpkg-buildpackage won't reject it. :-)
It is just obsolete IMO.
In my packages I let porters decide on those matters, I never disable
build-dependencies like those on my own.
If a dependency becomes available, my package will build, too. I think
porters prefer this way, too.
