I fully agree, there is already limited support since dpkg 1.13.12:

"* Add support for architecture wildcards, but for now they will only be
   exposed in debian/control files, not in binary nor source packages.
   Closes: #291939"

The line will be "Build-Depends: libselinux1-dev [linux-any]"

But this is not supported in sarge dpkg, so backports would not be 
possible.  Also build-essential depends only on dpkg-dev (>= 1.13.5).

Many thanks.
