For instance, in https://bugs.debian.org/823264 , wine32-tools depends
on perl (perl:i386) on amd64, but perl:amd64 would work. The dependency
is "perl", it should be "perl:any", but this comes from ${perl:Depends}.
There should be a way for dh_perl to output "perl:any".

In packages with XS modules, the version is set, thus :any would not be
added.
However, looking again at the code, I see that I forgot ARCHDEP_MODULE.
I submit a new patch. I am not sure what should happen with the -V
option.
