Lintian (2.5.1) already supports arch qualification inside the override file:
+ [NT] Allow simple architecture overrides such as [i386] or [!i386].
Architecture wildcards are not supported yet. The actual syntax
for the architecture the same as the one used in the Build-Depends.
Thanks to Andreas Beckmann for the bug report and the solution
proposal. (Closes: #622888)
This is already used for nvidia-graphics-drivers etc.
