Package: pixbros
Version: 0.6.3-2

Hello,

There is now a provisional field that you can include in debian/control to
indicate which architecture an architecture: all package needs to be built
on: XS-Build-Indep-Architecture.

Since amd64 is now the de facto default architecture used everywhere for
building packages, and the build-dependencies of pixbros are only available
on 32-bit architectures, it would be helpful to document this architecture
requirement in the source package by, e.g., 'XS-Build-Indep-Architecture: i386'.

I've made this change in Ubuntu in order to allow the package to autobuild;
please consider applying it in Debian as well.

Thanks,
