Note that it's possible to make a control file that sets up a dependancy
on one architecture only. See the task-x-window-system source. In the
control file, it has:
Depends: ${F:X-${Arch}-Depends} task-x-window-system-core, rstart, [etc]
Then it sets up a debian/substvars like this:
F:X-alpha-Depends=xf86setup, xserver-vga16,
F:X-arm-Depends=
F:X-i386-Depends=xf86setup, xserver-vga16,
F:X-m68k-Depends=
F:X-powerpc-Depends=
F:X-sparc-Depends=
