Using an empty "Architecture" field for this purpose feels like a hack.
Wouldn't specify a "Build-Profiles: <pkg.{source}.whatever>" be a
better solution? dak didn't handle positive lists well, but that
should be fixed ([1] is pending).
So shouldn't one use this and possible make an empty "Architecture"
field a bug instead?
(I notice the original bug is from 2012 where Build-Profiles might not
have existed and the missing support in dak also made it not very nice
to use.)
