The pkg-deb target is probably mostly, or even exclusively - used to build custom kernels, and people might be crossbuilding kernels with different configs and thus resulting in different firmware files from the same source (thus same version) on the same system. I build amd64, i386 and armel that way on my main desktop system, all with different configs (tuned mainly to keep the build time down). Keeping the firmware package arch-specific would ensure that a firmware package built with the config for one arch does not get overwritten by one built for another arch with a different config.
