Well it would partially solve it. The package maintainer generally
uploads the -indep and one architecture as far as I can tell (I am not
a debian developer so I may have misunderstood this part). I think the
buildd's only build the architecture specific part.
Of course I could also then file a release critical FTBFS bug against
the package since it would fail to compile completely from source on
one of the many architectures I have around.
So no it is NOT a solution.
It is however still a good idea to do the split since you don't want to
waste time generating documentation on all build machines, when it should
end up identical to what you could generate on one of the fast ones.

Well fixing that is probably also necesary before arm will build properly.

I have no idea. I don't think the package as is will get past any freeze.

Well I can build a linux kernel in about 1 minute and 15 seconds on this
powerpc machine. It takes over 10 minutes to get to the point where
openfoam fails (which cmake seems to claim is 3% in to the build).
The document cleanup python script took minutes to run, and this is not
a slow machine (It's a 3.7GHz power7 box).
I would hate to think what this package would do to the arm or mips
build machines.
