Using Provides is the natural approach indeed. Encoding the architecture
into the version may technically work, but it feels really strange.
Earlier, I proposed encoding it into the provided package name like
linux-libc-dev-arm64-cross, but we all know how that went and I would
not have proposed it if I had seen how it broke other pieces. Still if
we were to just drop the "-cross" suffix and go for a very similar
version.

Provides: linux-libc-dev-amd64, linux-libc-dev-arm64, ...

In any of these cases, I can inject extra dependencies and have
dose-builddebcheck correctly determine whether the existing
linux-libc-dev satisfies what is needed.

As stated elsewhere, I still don't understand what we gained by
switching from Arch:any to Arch:all, but maybe I don't have to. A
solution that adds any of these Provides is what I'd call good enough in
practical terms for the purpose of bootstrapping.
