Debian build servers only look at the Architecture field in
debian/control in Debian source packages and the
Packages-arch-specific file:

I don't see any source package in Debian by the name of itk, perhaps
you mean insighttoolkit or insighttoolkit4?

Setting the Debian architecture field correctly is the responsibility
of the maintainer of the Debian package (the Debian med team in this
case). Turning on new architectures for code that was previously not
portable is probably only a good idea when there is an extensive test
suite or the code has been verified to build and work on the Debian
porterboxes.

The Debian sparc port is poorly maintained and is planned to be
removed from the next Debian release unless someone cares about it
enough to improve it. So there is probably no point caring about
builds on the Debian sparc architecture.

If you want to subscribe to build failures for Debian architectures,
put your mail in the form at the bottom left of this page, choose
opts, press go and select just the buildd option.
http://packages.qa.debian.org/i/insighttoolkit4.html
Packages building on Debian buildds are not allowed to contact the
Internet during builds so the best you can get right now is
subscribing to the build failure mails. There is a plan for a
fedmsg/AMQP messaging system for Debian related events but that isn't
in production yet.
