Title:
  apt-get build-dep -a uses build arch for [] restrictions, not host
  arch

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “apt” package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  zlib Build-Depends: gcc-multilib [amd64 i386 kfreebsd-amd64 mips
  mipsel powerpc ppc64 s390 sparc], but as you can see in
  http://people.linaro.org/~wookey/buildd/precise/sbuild-
  ma/zlib_1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3ubuntu4-precise-ma-cross-
  armel-20120331-024312.35885.log 'apt-get -aarmel build-dep zlib' tries
  to install gcc-multilib.  It shouldn't be doing this: the architecture
  restrictions within [] should be applied to the host architecture, not
  to the build architecture.
