Making the package completely useless on some architectures is grave
-- basically, imagine if you've only got machines of the particular
architecture affected; or imagine if the same problem hit only i386
machines. In essence, the principle is that if you see a package in
dselect, but can't use it no matter what you do or want to do, that's
utterly unacceptable.
The only exception that we're making at present if for uninstallable
arch:all packages on non-i386, and that's only because we can't come up
with a good alternative way of handling those packages.
