It looks like I did that back in 1999 to get around some problem, and
then over time people have let me know various other architectures work
and so I've added them back in.  I think you're right, though, making it
'any' won't hurt at this point... if it doesn't build on all
architectures, I may get some FTBFS bugs, but they won't be RC if the
package never built on that architecture before...
