Since apparently there are quite cases like that, what is the reason for forbidding arch-specific dependencies in control? Can we reconsider that?
What is the problem with arch-specific dependencies in control? I've used them just fine (in wine, see libwine-dev) for a while, no apparent problems. I think they do only work for arch:any packages, though, as they seem to be parsed at build-time by dpkg-gencontrol or something.
