Hi,

This bug should be fixed as a side-effect of the following
(experimental) change in 10.10.6:

"""
  * Add experimental support for building some packages for "TARGET"
    rather than "HOST" via the X-DH-Build-For-Type field.  The field
    is subject to removal and changes without notice.  The field is
    not considered by dpkg tooling and therefore you will still have
    to manually work around tools like dpkg-gencontrol (even when
    called via dh_gencontrol).
"""

Thanks,
~Niels
