[PATCH] buildchroot: Do not build cross when there are no

[Jan Kiszka]

From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com>

When all binary packages are "Architecture: all", we can avoid the cross
build and use the host architecture directly. This specifically resolves
cross-build issue with dependencies that are not cross-ready.

More concretely, if the build dependency meta package requests an arch-
independent package, this fails because apt seems to look only for
my-dependency:arch, ignoring that there is only :all.

I still find this strange that we have to add such an extra measure - 
which isn't even working if there is only one arch-specific binary 
package. This should rather be handled by mk-build-deps or actually apt 
itself.
