You have to parse the Sources file to exclude packages that are not for
your architecture. You must also exclude packages according to
"Packages-arch-specific"[0]. I have scripts doing exactly that in the
collab-qa svn repository[1], in debcluster/scripts/rebuild-archive/
(respectively grep-sources-arch.rb and pasfilter.rb). See
debcluster/Notes for example usage.

If you want to do some code cleanup/rewrite, just let me know :-)

Build-dependancies must be installed before running the clean target.
