The reporter is right that -dev packages should be arch:any, not
arch:all.

Even if the current libmp4v2-dev package doesn't ship any architecture
dependent files, the resulting churn from buildd skew (i.e., the
situation when the buildds for some architectures are slow, this results
in the library being uninstallable when the -dev package is superseeded
with a new upload) is really not worth saving a few kbytes on the
archive mirrors.

I've done that change in git already.

Cheers,
Reinhard
