Bug#87159: explanation of Build-Depends et. al. is unclear



Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.5.2.0
Severity: normal

please refer to lintian bug 86710, it asks for lintian to check the syntax of
the Build-Depends field.

Specifically, [!i386 m68k] seems like it could be valid, but seems to not be.
The archs are also whitespace separated, some people are using commas.  Perhaps
an exmple with multiple arches would be good.
