This is getting OT, But I'd say this applies to nearly all software in 
Debian. IMHO if the Architecture field is set to "any" than the 
package is *targeted* at any architecture, i.e. there is no reason 
that speaks against attempting to build on all architectures. It does 
not mean, in turn, that it is actually tested or even expected to run 
on e.g. knetbsd-s390x. ;)
