Hi,
I indeed ran into many bugs already filed by Niels, and only filed bugs
for the packages where bugs were missing.
It seems that, when bugs were missing, lintian was unable to detect the
missing targets. So that's a bug in lintian (it fails to detect that
those 9 packages are missing build-indep). Cloning accordingly.
Also, the lintian page[1] includes many packages that are missing build-indep,
but don't build any Architecture:all package. That's still a bug in the
packages (as build-indep is required even in that case) but I wouldn't detect
it as I restricted my test to packages building Arch:all binaries.
Maybe it could make sense for lintian to distinguish those two cases
(missing build-indep and building arch:all vs missing build-indep and
not building arch:all).
Finally, it seems that dpkg still has a workaround for missing build-indep for
packages building only Arch:all binaries. For example, see this log for
libgtk2-ex-podviewer-perl_0.18-1:

That's why I did not run into more failures.
