In this form patch is really non-mergeable, I gave the link just for
refrence.
If you're not against it, I'll provide another patch, doing the
following things:
1. Accepting -a$arch (or --target-arch=$arch) option for all the tools
and passing it all the way down to the dpkg-buildpackage -a$arch.
2. Separating the build-depends calculation and also passing the -a$arch
to it.
This way it will be possible to provide Slind-specific build-depends
parsing without modifying the pbuilder.

pbuilder(1) already handles it well, the problem with non-matching host
architectures only manifests itself in pdebuild. But yes, that's the
another problem.
