Since pixbros and pixfrogger are the only 2 packages in Debian with
this problem,[1] what about simply making them binary-any with an 
architecture list of all 32bit architectures?

[1] there's also aboot, but that doesn't build on any current release
architecture and can be solved using the available cross compiler

I thought it was going to be "Build-Architecture-Indep" from some
discussion in -devel@[1]?  Any reason why this was changed?

This isn't directly related to pixbros, but last month I applied a
similar patch that you offered for pixfrogger in #534063 which also
added this new 'XS-Build-Indep-Architecture: i386' field. However, it
doesn't look like it works as intended, because while it does allow
the package to be autobuilt, the resulting package gets stuck in
-proposed (in Ubuntu); see LP: #1585058. Do you know what needs to be
done to get pixfrogger et al. to migrate properly?

Vincent

Hello,

There is now a provisional field that you can include in debian/control to
indicate which architecture an architecture: all package needs to be built
on: XS-Build-Indep-Architecture.

Since amd64 is now the de facto default architecture used everywhere for
building packages, and the build-dependencies of pixbros are only available
on 32-bit architectures, it would be helpful to document this architecture
requirement in the source package by, e.g., 'XS-Build-Indep-Architecture: i386'.

I've made this change in Ubuntu in order to allow the package to autobuild;
please consider applying it in Debian as well.

Thanks,
