We are actually rebuilding all Debian packages and we do tag them as binary
nmu if we rebuild then again (in theory, this only happens in specific
cases, but sometimes the automation triggered too often). But in theory at
least: yes, there are reasons to do binary NMUs for arch:all packages as
well.

(We also would tag the version numbers similarly if we have a local patch,
but IIRC, that wasn't the case here)
