Bug#513996: [checks/binaries] detect binaries from other architectures

[Raphael Geissert <atomo64@gmail.com>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.0
Severity: wishlist

While working on the check for prebuilt binaries in source tarballs I was 
thinking about making it severity: minor as having prebuilt binaries around 
may cause make to believe it doesn't have to anything on them.
Those cases are usually alleviated thanks to the call to debian/rules clean, 
but just to make sure prebuilt binaries are not accidentally shipped, I think 
it would be a good idea to check for binaries belonging to another 
architecture other than the one specified in the binary control file.
Of course binaries in multi arch directories should be ignored, but I can't 
think about any good reason to for example ship an i386 binary in an armel 
package.

Oh, and by implementing such a check I would not need to rise the severity of 
the other check, not to mention that it isn't the right thing to do :).

Cheers,
