Might be relevant to point out that dh_perl and ${perl:Depends} should
take care of this, so for most it shouldn't be an issue.

 Why is this allowed and still all packages are send to all
 architectures? This creates a lot of false failed ... build of ...
 mails. In the log of these builds on those architectures only appears
 something like:

  not in arch list or does not match any arch wildcards: linux-any all

It's a long-standing limitation of the way that the buildds work that if a
package builds any arch-independent package, that package is attempted on
all the buildds even if none of the arch-dependent packages will build
there.  It would be lovely to have that bug fixed, but it's not new nor is
it directly related to arch wildcards.  It's affected the openafs package
for years, which explicitly lists out the architectures it supports.
