Maybe we can introduce it ourselfs and then point to our packages 
during discussion to show what we mean.

Additionally to XS-Build-Suggests, which would only point to packages 
that are *not* in Debian, we could also propose XS-Build-Recommends 
for packages like libasound2-dev or libavc1394-dev, which are not 
available for all archs or kernels. Build-Recommends would then mean 
that a package is a Build-Depends on a specific arch if it is 
available there but the build does not fail if it is not. This would 
be cleaner than these ugly [!hurd-i386 !kfreebsd-amd64 !kfreebsd-i386] 
lines, not?

I know this is mostly off-topic, but what do the DDs think?
