I have the slight feeling we're talking about different issue here.
According to #613119, which you even close in your changelog, it's been
about kfreebsd, and as far as I can tell there's been no fuse-utils package
on kfreebsd nor hurd and there is now no fuse package on both of them.
So this problem isn't solved at all.
I currently can't say if archivemount is of any use without the rest of
the fuse tools or not. Looking at the blocking bug #613300 I don't think
it is but I've not digged that deep yet. If it is indeed useful to have
on kfreebsd without fuse the dependency has to be adjusted accordingly
[!kfreebsd-i386 !kfreebsd-amd64]. Otherwise using linux-any seems to be
a good solution, it's not worth to build a package on architectures where
it can't be used anyway.

Uh since when is hurd a release architecture? The migration seems to be
stopped by the RC bug mentioned above.

IMO it would make sense to do it now while you're at it, I'd guess that
Daniel would like to fate out the old fuse-utils package sooner or later
anyway. So switching now to a versioned depends on fuse >=2.8.5-2 is IMO
reasonable.
Beside that:
There's still lintian barking at the issue with the description. I'm not sure
if lintian is 100% right there and if the deselect issue is still present but
double spaces in front of the * should do the trick. IMHO all the (useless)
dotted empty lines are a bit ugly, I would revert that.
You should also check your changelog, beside closing a bug which
isn't fixed with arch kfreebsd-any the changelog only states the change from
any to linux-any. The changes to debian/rules are also missing.
