If the changes break the other architectures then the changes are
BROKEN, learn how not to do it, simple..

We all make mistakes, its a fact of life, and there are some RARE cases
where a binary only NMU is needed, however they are the EXCEPTION, not
the rule..

Basicly, your argument of it only affecting one architectures is
bogus, if your worried about your changes not working on other
architectures then go over to master and compile it, if you need testers
go over to #debian and ASK, if I'm there (nick Mercury, idle a LOT) and
I use the package I'll test it for 80x86, so in the end, give one GOOD
reason why they should be the norm, and the only affecting one
architecture is not a good reason..
