I think we still end up with a bunch of manpages in libpam0g-dev. Although that's also M-A: same, so probably has similar issues, although probably they come up less frequently than libpam-modules. But let's say we move those man pages too. I'd love to minimize build-depends-arch, but I don't know how. In my meson setup call, I want to either enable or disable the docs feature. I realize I could leave it auto, but that has been too fragile in the past as upstream changes their doc dependencies. So it is too easy to get into a situation where upstream builds none of the docs because some tool is not present. But the meson setup call is in override_dh_auto_configure. I don't know at that point how to figure out of I am building arch all packages. If someone can either give me some hints here or provide a patch, I'd love to review it.
