I'd say: either ignore debcheck, or drop povray from your Suggests:. > So is it possible to say: Suggests: povray [i386]?

It is not possible, like it is not possible to have Depends or Recommends depending on the arch. Build-Depends are possible since it is being sorted out at build-time. A solution would be to use control.in, but that's quite overkill for that particular use. Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois
