It can't really know, can it? If I have a control file with
Package: foo
Architecture: any
Package: foo-data-extra
Architecture: all
Package: foo-plugins
Architecture: any
Depends: foo (=${Source-Version}), foo-data-extra (=${Source-Version})
then a binNMU ought to have foo-plugins depend on the binNMU'ed
version of foo, but on the common version of foo-data-extra.
If dpkg-gencontrol were to figure out that, it would need to parse a
lot of data that it currently doesn't. And even if it did it
correctly, the resulting behavior would be confusing.
IMO it would be better to split ${Source-Version} into two substvars,
one of which includes binNMU suffixes and one of which doesn't.
