Thus you won't be able to install it where it wouldn't work. That's
right and how most of our packages work currently. There's no guarantee
that architecture independent packages will be available on every Debian
port, only that when they are available (installable) that they then
function correctly.

Either
a) Continue building your binding packages only where mono is available
and play catch up with mono's arch list if & when it changes
b) Do the split so you can have mono package in b-d-i (but then you end
up with a package for a private library which isn't that desirable).
Or I suppose you could maybe build your gluelibs in a private
directory in the main library runtime package.
