Looking at it in a bit more detail, dh would still need to pass -s to every command it runs. And that would result in 20 seconds added to a the average package build on my laptop. So, the optimisation of not making -a the same as -s, while ugly, is still necessary. dh could still be made smart enough to figure out if the control file lists arch-specific packages, and automatically pass -s in that case. -- see shy jo
