hyperv-daemons is already built (for x86) by src:linux and I don't think
2 source packages can build the same binary package for different
architectures.

There have been no functional changes in hyperv-daemons between 5.10 and
6.1, so I can build it for arm64 from src:linux with no loss of
functionality.  However the version number would be lower than before.

Would that meet the requirements for cloud images?  Or do I need to
fudge the binary version number?

Ben.
