For the rollout of testing, all packages were reverted to their potato
versions, IIRC.

AFAIK, yes, a binary package missing on a certain arch will keep the whole
thing out of testing. I'm not sure how this works with packages that aren't
intended for all architectures, but I suspect that if you specify the arches
for which it will build in the package's control file, it won't be a
problem.
I could be wrong though :).

It [being a Vulcan] means to adopt a philosophy, a way of life which is
logical and beneficial. We cannot disregard that philosophy merely for
personal gain, no matter how important that gain might be.
