Dear Maintainer,


In order to improve cross build of nodejs ecosystem, node-* arch:all package
should depends on nodejs:any and b-d on nodejs:native

Maybe this test should be restricted to ma: foreign package

IMHO, you should make your tooling produce this "nodejs:any" binary
dependency, instead of having each package have it manually listed in
d/control (see ${perl:Depends} as an example, since, it's actually the
very same thing, producing perl:any dependencies).

It shouldn't be IMHO.
