That was pure luck (or bad luck), then. edos-distcheck completely 
ignores the architecture field, and the implicit conflict between
packages of different architectures.

In principle we could introduce conflicts between all packages of
different architectures. This would be very inefficient. It is much
better to use a trivial grep-dctrl script to separate different
architecures.

This should be documented in the manpage, and checked by edos-distcheck.
