What we *can* do though is to add a warning if packages were added with an architecture that dpkg does not know about. So if the chroot is amd64 and sbuild did not `dpkg --add-architecture i386` then adding packages of architecture i386 should be an error as they can never be installed. Thus, making this feature a wishlist bug. Thanks! cheers, josch
