By default the build directory is arch-qualified, which means that we cannot easily ignore them in places like .gitignore. Use a well-known pathname for this.
Format fields in a way that minimizes diff output and that makes it easier to copy & paste or move lines around between fields: - Adding a trailing comma on the last entry makes appending new entries not affect the last one. - Starting the field value on the next line makes inserting or changing the first value generate less diff. - Indenting by one space, makes the contents movable between fields, and gives a unified format to all such fields. - Sorting makes the contents easier to find and easier to avoid adding duplicates. We cannot currently do this for the Go-Import-Path field, because dh-golang does not cope with this file being multi-line with an empty first line, yet.
This makes it possible to build packages w/o requiring (pseudo-)root privileges.
…Indep Not all build dependencies are required all the time. Move those into the fields that are appropriate for their type.
