Yorick therefore is not broken by the current transition, but requires a
source-full rebuilt to get the openmpi flavour on s390x, that I can do
right away.

well, turns out there are several packages in this situation, and i'm
compiling a kind of list documenting them.

maybe time to update the packaging for packages hardcoding openmpi archs to use
/usr/share/mpi-default-dev/debian_defaults by default?

That's surely something several packages really ought to do, but I found
most of them also build binaries only in openmpi archs, so the list of
openmpi architectures is hard coded in the Architectures: field, which
can't just change a build time.
Do you have a suggestion about how to improve this situation?

well, even if you need to have these hard-coded, then have a control.in generating a control file, and fails when the control file changes. So you regenerate it during the build, but fail if it changes.

For this, /usr/share/mpi-default-dev/debian_defaults
would need a new macro
openmpi_archs = ...
