You'll need to ask debian-admin for that package to be installed in the
chroot.

Note that you don't actually need to bother with building a nonfree
package on all architectures. It just needs to be built on
archictectures on which it was previous built. If this is causing you a
huge problem, you can ask ftpmaster to remove packages on other
architectures that you can't build for, and then it won't matter.
