Subject: The architecture value "any" may not be combined with others
X-Git-Url: https://git.donarmstrong.com/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=40c1d3f240e7278185d6ef1beb76840a31c17489;p=debian%2Fdebian-policy.git

The architecture value "any" may not be combined with others

Adjust the wording for architecture wildcards to reflect that dpkg
requires "any" be alone if it is used.
