The Excuses link[2] is your friend.  The Architecture all package
expects to be able to run on *all* architectures but it can't since some
Depends are only available on amd64 this is a problem.  I try to
remember what the solution was.  I think in some cases we used the ugly
hack to make the package Architecture: any and
  Build-Depends: bowtie2, python3-pysam
which provides the package only where those dependencies exist.  But
that's not a nice solution.  I think we did not do this trick for
metaphlan2 but if I remember correctly that needed a manual hint from
release team to propagate.  Sorry, I simply forgot - may be you check
the list archive for a proper solution?

Thanks for your work on this

      Andreas.
