builddeb generates a control file that says the linux-headers package
can only be built for the build system primary architecture. This
breaks cross-building configurations. We should use $debarch for this
instead.
Since $debarch is not yet set when generating the control file, set
Architecture: any and use control file variables to fill in the
description.
