Actually, no.  Unless the package builds but is then either
uninstallable or unusable on particular architectures, "any" is
precisely the right choice for architecture-dependent packages.

In this case, as a convenient example, it would mean that builds of the
package will automatically get tried on any new architecture for which
ghci is introduced (all other things being equal) without needing a
source upload.

Adam
