    Based on the examples in 7.1 of the Policy Manual that syntax should work. Those
    examples are for defining relationships, but I would imagine it is the same for the
    Architecture field.

    Hi all,

    sorry to bother again. I was requested to stop building package on i386 (#1057407) so libqt6 can drop the i386 support too. So, how do do I do
    that? Do I have to specify (and maintain) the list of all supported
    arches in the debian/control file or can I specify something like "any [!i386]"?

    Another idea was to remove the i386 package using an ROM bug, then let libqt6 fix their list of arches. texworks stops automatically building
    on i386, b/c the BD's can be fulfilled any more. No need to change the source package. Would that work?

    Thanks!

    Yes.

    The Architecture field is not a relationships field. See https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#architecture
    for its syntax.
