As said in that document, P-a-s is a tool to reduce buildd's wasting
time on certain packages. It is *not* a way to prevent certain
architectures to end up in the archive per se, make sure your package
fails to build in some way if it's unsuiteable on a certain
architecture.
As such, it isn't a that important file for maintainers.
