>From debhelper manpage:
-s, --same-arch
This is a smarter version of the -a flag, that is used in some rare
circumstances. It understands that if the control file lists
"Architecture: i386" for the package, the package should not be
acted on on other architectures. So this flag makes the command act
on all "Architecture: any" packages, as well as on any packages
that have the current architecture explicitly specified. Contrast
to the -a flag, which makes the command work on all packages that
are not architecture independent.
On normal situations, -s behaves the same as -a. When the Architecture field in
one of the binary packages doesn't match:
-a breaks build, making it impossible to have arch-specific packages
-s just ignores that package and proceeds with the others
Patch attached.
