Surprisingly enough:
$ grep -i build-depends-indep /var/lib/apt/lists/*_Sources | wc -l
11946
$ grep -i build-depends-arch /var/lib/apt/lists/*_Sources | wc -l
0

So, the mplayer package I have been testing Build-Depends-Arch on is
the only one I know of. I thought it was being used since using
Build-Depends-Indep without Build-Depends-Arch in general would
install a ton of packages that are not needed when doing arch all-only
builds. The best I could do to provide a test case is to provide the
attached patched that can be applied to the master branch of:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-multimedia/mplayer.git

I guess the severity could be dropped since only packages not in the
archive are affected.

Cheers,
Miguel
