First, we need new syntax to specify the architectures an arch:all
package may be built on. (There may be cases where this cannot be
deducted from the other binary packages it builds – if any. Heck,
there may even be cases where a source package has multiple arch:all
packages that need to be built on *different* architectures.)

Then we need to have this syntax supported by dpkg in stable, AIUI…
