Note that Breaks suffers from the same problem.
I should also say that those should also be fixed IMO:
I: dpkg source: non-standard-arch-in-source-relation kfreebsd-i386 [build-depends: libselinux1-dev (>= 1.28-4) [!hurd-i386 !kfreebsd-i386 !kfreebsd-amd64]]
I: dpkg source: non-standard-arch-in-source-relation kfreebsd-amd64 [build-depends: libselinux1-dev (>= 1.28-4) [!hurd-i386 !kfreebsd-i386 !kfreebsd-amd64]]
kfreebsd-i386, kfreebsd-amd64, armel are unofficial architectures which are
mentioned in many cases.
