Hi Matthias,

gcc-defaults got binNMUed. That made me realize that it is not
binNMU-safe. When I added gcc-for-host/gcc-for-build, I made a mistake
and issued a (= ...) dependency from gcc-for-build (arch:all) on gcc
(arch:any). That dependency is now unsatisfiable. I'm attaching a patch
to relax it for binNMUs.

I don't think that the upper dependency is necessary.

Hi Matthias,

I appreciate a bit more verbosity in your replies. This one can be
understood in multiple ways.

    "Please produce an updated patch removing the upper dependency."

OR

    "I (Matthias) think the upper dependency is not necessary and am
    going fix it that way."

It is not clear to me, which of these is the intended meaning.

Either way, I am fine with not having the upper dependency.
