For now, the maintainer/uploader has to upload the *dsc, *changes & *deb
for the arch it has been built on.
Depends the maintainer but usually, the best solution is to use
pbuilder / cowbuilder (to make sure all dependencies are explicitly
defined and it builds on a clean system) but it is also possible to
upload packages built with dpkg-buildpackage, git-pbuildpackage, etc

The one of your arch will be used (this will probably change soon),
others are automatically built by our compilation chains.
For example, here is the build results of Scilab:
