Hi, I'd like to use such a feature for optionally shipping systemd service files, which are installed by the upstream build system on Linux only. In these cases I have conditional Build-Depends items, conditional configure options in debian/rules and conditional dh_install lines. I can avoid mentioning explicit architecture names in debian/rules (by checking header file presence for example). This dh-exec feature would make it possible to remove explicit architecture names from the debhelper config files, too, leaving me with a single place for architecture restrictions: debian/control. Which would be a good thing in my opinion.
Debian architectures aren't equal, for good or bad. We can't hide this. -- Thanks, Feri
