The current state is that M-A: same packages must have the same version and identical Changelog files across all architectures. That means binNMU on all architectures or a sourcefull upload. That certainly isn't the solution but just the state of things. And fixing the tools to ensure M-A: same packages are binNMUed for all architectures makes sense for the time being. The final solution to this issue remains open but one suggestion is to change the binNMU mechanism in a way that doesn't produce a changed Changelog file (but record the binNMU changelog entry somewhere else) and then loosen the version requirement for M-A: same packages to source:Version.
