so, the field also supports architecture wildcards? So I can say:
Build-Indep-Architecture: any
or:
Build-Indep-Architecture: linux-any
And in an utopic feature, maybe even:
Build-Indep-Architecture: any-gnu-any-any
(to build on any glibc based architecture)
I didn't read the launchpad code but only found four packages using the
Build-Indep-Architecture field in the Ubuntu Yakkety Sources file and all four
of them use either amd64 or i386 but no wildcards.
If the field doesn't support architecture wildcards, then I wouldn't call it "a
list per the usual architecture syntax".
Thanks!
