Fabio, the point is that all the packages that *might* be generated on any architecture (not just the current build architecture) have to go into the .dsc's Binary: line. Some time back this broke a hard-coded limit in woody's apt, and thereby broke upgrades from woody to sarge for anyone who tried to use deb-src lines referencing sarge before they'd got apt upgraded. That's one of the reasons we decided to split out the various linux-kernel-di-$ARCH packages.
