The only (good) way to ensure the arch: all package is built on arm is to
always do the sourceful upload of the package from arm.

(Otherwise, you'd be building the arch: all package from the binary-arch
rule on arm only; this would work, but cause brain-twistiness wrt the
separation between arch: all and arch: any.)
