Ok, now I see your point. What I wanted to do is put 'Architecture: any'
in the control file and use debian/substvars to define the actual
name of the binary package, e.g. 'Package: ${lib}foo'. I suppose there
is a good reason why using a generated package name does not work, so
we have to come up with something else.
Sorry for the confusion.
