Hmm... perhaps a complement to the dpkg -B and -S options could be created
which builds only Architecture: all packages? Just an idea, thrown out for
discussion of its merits... it seems like you could likely build binary-arch
packages if you can build binary-indep, but it might have other uses. I
suppose another possibility would be an autobuilder set up to do just
binary-indep binary packages that're missing (I might be able to donate a
machine to such a task, dunno...). Once again, just ideas :).
