Recommends work no different from depends when it comes to the
architecture constraint.

Yes, this syntax does work. The architecture qualification is resolved
at build time and the resulting binary packages will have the dependency
exactly for those architectures that need it.

This looks sane to me. Keep in mind that you also need to upload
fwupd-*-signed.
