Thank you for your reply. Is it possible to use the negative form too in
the debian/control file?
Package: ntp
Architecture: !hurd-any (instead of any)
Depends: ...
Package: ntpdate
Architecture: any
...
Package: ntp-doc
Architecture: all
...
And then change the corresponding parts of debian/rules?
