The reason we don't do this is because of bootstrapping: some tools
require themselves to build, so you need to cross-build them on a
different architecture, upload the cross-built binary, get an exception
for that upload, and then re-upload the same version so it gets built on
the buildds. If you have a solution for that issue that allows not
accepting bootstrapped binaries in unstable, then by all means suggest
it. Otherwise I think the current situation is the best possible
solution given the requirements that exist.
Having said that, a warning by dupload or dak that you're uploading
binaries to unstable and is this really what you want would definitely
seem appropriate.
