Or not: Policy 7.1.: #v+ For binary relationship fields, the architecture restriction syntax is only supported in the source package control file debian/control. When the corresponding binary package control file is generated, the relationship will either be omitted or included without the architecture restriction based on the architecture of the binary package. This means that architecture restrictions must not be used in binary relationship fields for architecture-independent packages (Architecture: all). #v- And if I try it nevertheless the build fails: #v+ dpkg-gencontrol: error: the Recommends field contains an arch-specific dependency but the package is architecture all #v- > Let's sleep over it and decide tomorrow :) After some thoughts on IRC: It looks like both kFreeBSB and hurd-i386 have dev/random now, so we can just drop the Recommends.
