For those wondering about the reasons:
* dak has a "no arch:all binNMU" check that rejects arch:all binNMUs.
- It might be time to lift this restriction.
* These days we could in theory binNMU source packages building only
arch:all packages.
* There is a caveat with source packages building both arch:all and
arch:any packages, where the substvars no longer ensures
installability (because they assume that version of arch:all is the
version of the source package).
- I have tried to device a lintian check which might help us get an
overview of this situation.
Thanks,
