Hi, Sorry that you were affected by this change. And also, I am sorry, but I do not think this use-case is worth the effort in additional maintenance and have a high probability of "abuse"/being a recipe for disaster[1], so I will close this as wontfix. Debhelper supports the simple arch:all -> arch:all case and the simple arch:any -> arch:any case. For the foreseeable future I do not plan to change that. Thanks, ~Niels [1] AFAICT, there are no valid way to support arch:all -> arch:any with binNMUs. And arch:any -> arch:all can theoretically be done in very specific cases/narrow circumstances (which, when not satisfied, leads to file-conflicts or missing files).
