That's an interesting idea. I'll add a remark to that effect to the bug
report.

What is the easiest way to do that? Right now the Architecture field has
'any' listed. Is there an easy way to exclude bigendian platforms?
Alternatively, can I say something like "any, except ..., ..., ,..."? Or
does it mean I have to add all working arch hand by hand?
I used dpkg-architecture -L to get a list of architectures and it's
quite long, but I guess it's enough if I only list the ones without the
kernel in front, right (so i386, but not kfreebsd-i386 explicitely)?


Thanks,

Lennart.
