Technically I don't think it's absolutely necessary to rebuild it every time
binutils is updated, especially now that "Built-Using" allows us to remain
GPL2-compliant without special fixes in the archive tools. It would be nice
though to have the same version on all architectures for which the package is
built!

Since binutils is now up to 2.21.51.20110421-2, may I suggest

nmu binutils-mingw-w64_0.1 . amd64 i386 . -m "Rebuild for binutils 2.21.51.20110421-2."

(I hope I got the syntax right.)

Thanks for looking out for the package!
