I know what you're talking about.

And that's EXACTLY what happens. *Because* of the way the pkg-lists are
configured and *because* rootskel-gtk is *only* useful if included in an
initrd it is a perfectly OK solution to simply rely on pkg-lists and drop
the dependency.
The best alternative is to try to convince the s390 buildd admin to allow
rootskel-gtk to build for s390 (good luck with that). Limiting the arches
for cdebconf-gtk would be a bad solution as it goes against general
packaging conventions: we don't limit packages to arches unless there's a
technical reason to do so, not just because it's not used.
