I don't believe that that has a significant effect: firstly, it's not
significant effort to keep track of, and secondly, most developers don't
bother to keep track of what's running on other architectures all that
often. I can certainly personally guarantee you that it has absolutely
no effect on ssh.
If you track down a specific problem with ssh (as opposed to random
sniping about package quality), I'll be more than happy to fix it as
best I can.
