The version of sbuild that is now deployed on Debian buildds resolves
this by adding a new --arch-all-only option instead of accepting --arch=all,
so you can do something like:

    sbuild --arch=i386 --arch-all-only foo_1.2-3

to build the arch:all parts of foo in an i386 environment, without
building packages for the arch:any parts.

I think the necessary changes are limited to commits fec82ed7 and d6f12f0c.

Johannes, if you're uploading sbuild to experimental for #770407,
#798323 etc. anyway, would you mind incorporating this change too?
Without it, ordinary maintainers cannot replicate what happens on the
official Architecture:all buildd (x86-bm-01) during source-only uploads
such as
<https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=dbus&suite=experimental>.
