"For now" means you plan to fix this in future releases?

While I have no idea about the importance of the tests at least the
description of the change seems missleading. It reads as if a subset of
the tests would have been switched off for some architectures but the
change looks like all tests are disabled for those architectures. If
this is the only sensible solution for the moment I can upload this
change but it would be nice to have full featured testing back in the
future.
BTW, if you are running some build time tests would you consider more
sophisticated autopkgtest than just running `bart --version`?
Kind regards
Andreas.
