No, it's the non-free, architecture-dependent blob that it fetches from
the web and executes on your behalf, if i'm reading this right:

  http://bugs.debian.org/632771

I suspect you're going to need to beg the folks at dropbox for this bit
of non-free mystery meat if you want it on any platform but x86 ("i386"
in debian) or x86_64 ("amd64" in debian).

Happy hacking,
