Hi,

Indeed it would be helpful to have a openmpi_archs macro available. I
think we would also need a mpich_archs macro by symmetry, then one would
be really able to generate debian/control so the list of arches each
binary packages must be built for is correct automatically at the time
you upload the package.

However any change in this list will still require a source upload and I
fail to see how to detect automatically that such an upload is needed.

Kind regards, Thibaut.
