Particularly, "RDEPENDS" (and > "RCONFLICTS"?) can suddenly refer a foreign architecture. SAT-Britney does not have this approach and always checks all arches in common. If you add some test cases to the test suite, I can probably quickly make SAT-Britney handle them, so you have some real code to discuss the desired semantics and investigate possible problems, before setting out to implement it for real in britney2.
