File a bug against buildd.debian.org requesting to add the package to
Packages-Arch-Specific as Linux only.
But your package should be easily portable GNU/kFreeBSD because
kfreebsd-* includes a Linux-compatible[1] /proc (linprocfs). I compiled
it by removing the check for linux in linuxinfo.h, although the
application ended in an infinite loop.
