Do both instead of waiting. There is no problem if the s390 buildd
tries to build xfree86-driver-synaptics before the binary has been
removed (and xfree86-driver-synaptics has been added to
http://buildd.debian.org/quinn-diff/Packages-arch-specific), the build
will simply fail because dpkg-buildpackage (or is it sbuild?) checks
the architecture field.

Afaict from http://www.debian.org/intro/organization yes.
