No, it's not.
But even if it were, how would an "efficient" way of specifying the
Linux arches or the BSD arches or anything tied to a kernel that Debian
may support?

The package is avr-evtd.
It is tied to some ioctls that are only available on Linux (and the
compatibility layer of FreeBSD doesn't "cover" them). Actually, it is
very hardware-dependent (for certain embedded devices).
That's the situation about FreeBSD. I'm not even sure about the Hurd.
So, that's the reason why I'm asking for a way of uploading the package
and not having it bomb when given to the buildd's, as it is Not-For-Us.
