This is the change:

,---
+The package name. When the package is "Multi-Arch: same" this parameter

+usually include the architecture qualifier (as it would disallow
+cross-grades, or switching from being architecture specific to
+architecture \fBall\fP or vice versa).
+If the parameter is empty or omitted, the \fBDPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE\fP
+and \fBDPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_ARCH\fP environment variables (as set by \fBdpkg\fP)
+will be used to generate an arch-qualified package name.
`---

Here, I'm actually mentioning the arch:all ←→ arch:any case explicitly,
and it seems to be clear to me, so it would be helpful if you could point
out where the wording is not clear or what can be improved to make it so?

Thanks,
Guillem
