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. ;)
