I suppose it'd be nice to be able to use !foo in the Architecture: line for cases where something is known not to be supportable on a particular small subset of arches, through toolchain bugs or whatever. This smells like something dpkg/dpkg-source would have to support directly, probably by substituting the list of arches into the field at dpkg-source -b time. Even so, I wonder if any external tools would have a problem with the Architecture: line inside debian/control not being the same as in the .dsc..
