This is unrelated to the problem at hand, but to answer your question here:

Due to dpkg being unable to correctly resolve arch:any -> arch:all -> arch:any chains dependency chains, we are forced to set all these packages as arch:any, so that in case any transitive dependency picks up a new native dependency in the future, cross-compiling can continue to work without needing mass-rebuilds converting that package's transitive reverse-dependencies from arch:all back into arch:any.

It is briefly covered in our https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/RustPackaging/Policy
