Our Architecture: field is about the arches that Debian itself supports. If the meaning was broad as you describe, would we have to make sure our packages build on MS DOS? I'll agree with Josselin here: Debian is a GNU operatig system, not a POSIX OS. If there are porting problems which are specific to Nexenta and you want them to be integrated, you can provide patches. Or you can port the GNU libc to Nexenta (and, after this happens, you can even integrate Nexenta into Debian, why not?). I do care about Free Software principles, but my time for working on Debian is very limited these days, and porting my packages to an "unsupported" architecture is not very high in my priorities list.
