It would be rather odd to make a bug in a non-release architecture the
reason to not release a specific package for all architectures.
That said, if the package maintainer feels the particular bug actually
should result in the removal of this package from testing for all
architectures, then by all means mark it serious.
However, in this case, the best thing to do is just to mark the actual
bug which broke libtool (#814271) as affecting the other packages, and
help the non-release architecture buildds update the versions, fixing
whatever bugs are causing them not to be updated.
