You are reading the wrong paragraph. I have reported the bug about
*binary*-arch and not build-arch. The policy says:

"Both the binary-arch and binary-indep targets must exist. If one of
them has nothing to do (which will always be the case if the source
generates only a single binary package, whether architecture-dependent
or not), it must still exist and must always succeed."
