It is implemented though
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~click-hackers/click/trunk/view/head:/click/build.py#L96
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~click-hackers/click/trunk/view/head:/click/build.py#L177


Perhaps it's not the general way we want to expose arch dep packages hence
the reason it's not documented. But I am depending on it for all the apps
we need to transition (i.e.; notes, dialer, messages, camera, mediaplayer,
gallery, filemanager, terminal, ...)
