Pretty expensive "build source" job

The default Salsa-CI definition creates a "build source" job. This job effectively runs dpkg-source -b . and usually finishes pretty quickly. To do this, it always fetches hundreds or even thousands MB of build-dependencies, even if they are not needed. Example is https://salsa.debian.org/debian/tiarra/-/jobs/1181559.

Please look if you

  • actually need to fetch build-deps (they are required for the clean target, but the source tree is already clean) or
  • if you can just run this in another job.
