As discussed on IRC, here's a better patch.  Here is what it does (I tested 
all these)

arch:any to arch:any  - generates = binary:Version depends

arch:all to arch:all - generates = binary:Version depends (as a special case 
this is the same as = source:Version, so it's good)

arch:all to arch:any - generates >= source:Version depends to binNMUability is 
preserved

arch:any to arch:all (no idea if this actually happens or not):

For compat 9 or less: Prints warning and does generates nothing
For compat 10: errors out the build

I think this matches what we discussed.  I improved the log messages too.
