For the moment at least, architecture-independent packages are not
intended to be built on any build server, but should be uploaded
along with your source and the architecture-dependent packages for
whichever architecture you're uploading your original build. This is
signified by declaring the doc package "Architecture: all" rather
than "Architecture: any" in your debian/control file. See section
4.1 of the New Maintainers' Guide and section 5.6.8 of the Debian
Policy Manual:
