Nope.  The buildds build only arch-dependent binary packages.
Arch-independent packages always come from the maintainer's upload at
present.  (I think there has been some discussion of changing this but
not anytime soon.)

That's unrelated and if you wanted to undo it I wouldn't much care.  I
did it that way because it seemed tidier on the installed system to
have all the documentation wind up in one directory and not ship three
copies of the same changelog and copyright files.
