Policy says the Binary: header should list all packages that _could_ be
build (but not necessarily are, for example, the xfree86 source package
lists xserver-xfree86, but it isn't build on s390). So, you should make
the clean target to put in debian/control the union of packages that
are build across all archs with this meta-package, and then all is fine.
