Yes, but those guys need to play with the rules also, and produce something
usable for debian, and not some ugly hack which works only on some random x86
flavour. Also, i beleive there is nothing arch-specific in their stuff, so
they could as well enable support for more than just x86, at least for those
arches they can easily get a build machine for.
