Hmm, if the debian/rules of the respective package used the
environment/dpkg-architecture vars (eg the --host and --target
options if autoconf is being used), and dpkg-architecture could
somehow figure out wheter it is building for the Debian archives
or for a user, this would work like this:

# apt-get -b source

Now we need an easy way to tell dpkg-architecture wheter it
should set DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU=i386 on a ppro or
DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU=pentium (or whatever, don't know the possible
values).
