I think we could manage two different cases:

- "sbuild -A --arch=<SOMETHING>" or "sbuild -A": like today, build
  architecture independent packages in addition to architecture
  dependent ones

- "sbuild --arch=all": only build architecture independent packages

This would be useful for my setup, if "--arch=all" is handled internally
by doing like "sbuild -A --arch=<something>", this would cause problem
when building "Architecture: any all" sources.

Actually, in Debian, the architecture independent packages are build by
the developer who include them in his upload, the buildd only need to
take care of its own architecture dependent packages.

Regards.
