Fortunately I can confirm that this bug is no longer present in Ubuntu
15.04's software-center 13.10-0ubuntu6, nor in the 14.04 LTS software-
center 13.10-0ubuntu4. So someone must have fixed it somehow.

** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu)
       Status: Invalid => Fix Released

Title:
  software-center mishandles ':any' dependency architecture qualifiers

Status in software-center package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Here is how to reproduce this bug:
   * Download http://fgouget.free.fr/bugs/testdep.tar.bz2
     This is a small archive that contains a set of test, empty, Debian 
     package files along with their source.
     (run ./build to rebuild them)

   * Install the testdep-allowed_1.0-1_amd64.deb package.

   * Then run: software-center testdep-allowed-any_1.0-1_i386.deb

  Software Center will then refuse to install the package with the
  following error:

      Dependency is not satisfiable: testdep-allowed

  Yet testdep-allowed-any has 'testdep-allowed:any' as its sole
  dependency so the installed amd64 testdep-allowed package should
  satisfy it. Running dpkg confirms this:

  # dpkg -i testdep-allowed-any_1.0-1_i386.deb 
  Selecting previously unselected package testdep-allowed-any.
  (Reading database ... 214863 files and directories currently installed.)
  Unpacking testdep-allowed-any (from testdep-allowed-any_1.0-1_i386.deb) ...
  Setting up testdep-allowed-any (1.0-1) ...
