The source package has a couple of problems that I see already:
1) debian/control needs to have architecture=any instead of i386
2) The libforms-bin rule copies binaries from DESIGN which are only
i386. The DESIGN directory really should be laid out like the
FORMS directory with arch-specific subdirs. Another option would
be to not provide libforms-bin is we can't have powerpc binaries
of those tools but this is undesirable and should be fixed in the
upstream package.
