When checking for reverse dependencies, one sometimes can ignore
arch-indep or arch-all packages. However, the build-rdeps tool cannot
presently help here as it only considers the union of all
Build-Depends*. The underlying dose-ceve tool supports selecting a
subset. Would it be possible to make this functionality available to
build-rdeps? I think the attached patch should do, but having Johannes
Schauer (Cced) review it before inclusion would be good.
