The current Multi-Arch spec doesn't allow for such explicit dependencies (targeting a precise foreign architecture). But you can have "openbios-sparc:any" and assuming openbios-sparc is only available on sparc, the right package would be picked. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec > But then so far multiarch didn't happen... ): But it's really not far away this time.
