Package: packaging-manual Version: N/A The fact that most maintainers don't need to perform builds on the non-x86 architectures could use some clarification. I'd suggest that either the packaging manual have a section on multiple architecture support, or a mention is made in the developer's guide. While, the Architecture field of the control file does document the 'any' option, it doesn't explain that the build for other architectures is made automatically.
