I think this is a good idea to have in the dev ref, if it is
couched as a recommendation/ strong suggestion. The wording should be
such that the two options for XS-VCS-Arch would be clearly stated:
,----
| a) If your Debian package lives in a single arch category, you may
| give the arch location for the category:
| srivasta@debian.org--etch/foo--devo--1.0
| b) If your package needs arch config files to compose the package
| layout from multiple arch categories, use a grab file
| In either case, baz get <contents of XS-VCS-Arch> should checkout the
| latest version of your Debian package.
