Package: lintian

Severity: normal
Tags: patch
here's an example rules file where this bug happens:
%:
        TEST_AUTHOR=1 dh $@
lintian then tells me build-depends-without-arch-dep for debhelper.
here's an attempt at a patch, the regexp isn't very good, it will
probably need to be improved by the person who commits it. but it
fixes my problem.
