I assume there will be full-archive rebuilds attempted before this is deployed in production anyway, I guess this should catch the few weird cases, if any... The only semi-legit case I can think of (for several arch-indep packages which need to be built on distinct arches from the same source) is for a source package which is intended to retrieve information on a each arch at build time and distribute it to all architectures in binary packages. Why exactly you would want to do that is not clear to me, perhaps to retrieve and distribute this sort of information: https://wiki.debian.org/ArchitectureSpecificsMemo In all other cases (I can think of), that means that the package is somehow buggy on all architectures. Kind regards, Thibaut.
