Not that it makes a difference to the decision, but fwiw this is due to
the autohinter building lists of packages by walking excuses,
specifically the "dep" attribute. britney doesn't currently populate
that for packages on broken architectures (using "broken_dep" instead),
which means arch-specific migrations don't show up on the autohinters
radar.
A change such as Julien suggested recently (only using broken_dep for
source migrations) would probably help there but could do with a little
more testing.
