So you think we should have a Source-Depends-i386, Source-Depends-m68k, etc
fields? I guess that would work. Though perhaps there should be a
Source-Depends field that is used as default if Source-Depends-<arch> is not
present, so we won't always have to add a new field to each package when a
new architecture is added.
