Also, I dislike the sentence in itself, I believe it should be more
straightforward in conveying its meaning of "pretty please at least
two arch".

It has to be that way for cases like this:

     Build-Indep-architecture: !amd64

That entails that it builds on at least two architectures, but on a
common reading of 'specify', it does not specify two archs.

How about "You should not specify that the packages are buildable on
only one architecture."?
