Sorry, guess I should've been a bit clearer.
What you say is correct, but specifying "any" for the Architecture field
allows "dpkg-gencontrol" to put in the architecture for you. This way
when someone with a different arch attempts to build it, everything will
be automatic.

I believe near the top of debian/rules that is a line that reads
something like:
a = i386
This really isn't necessary since "dpkg" has the ability to correctly
name the output file for you.

In this case, yes. This will allow "dpkg-buildpackage -b" to function
properly.
