OK. This explicite need for a hard depends lets me put the need for this
in blends-dev to a higher priority.

Yes. Architecture specific dependencies are planned for the switch to
UDD based building of source packages (actually this need is the reason
why I plan to rewrite the code because I do not see a reasonable way to
do it with the current approach).
