+'''NOTE:''' According to the Debian policy listed [https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Architecture here] the difference between any, all and any all is as follows:
+
+ * Specifying only any indicates that the source package isn't dependent on any particular architecture and should compile fine on any one. The produced binary package(s) will be specific to whatever the current build architecture is. 
+ * Specifying only all indicates that the source package will only build architecture-independent packages.
+ *  Specifying any all indicates that the source package isn't dependent on any particular architecture. The set of produced binary packages will include at least one architecture-dependant package and one architecture-independent package.
+
+
+ 
 Once these files are in place, the build process is initiated with:
 {{{
 debuild -uc -us -b
 }}}
+
+----
+
+Note:
+If you are getting complaints about packages not being install-able and unmet dependencies, there is a good chance that the package for the architecture that you are trying to install on is missing.
