>     - restrict building to just i386, amd64 (Closes: #400066)

This is not an acceptable solution at all.  There is nothing x86-specific
about this package, and even up to *0.5.1-1*, the package was building
successfully on alpha until you changed the architecture list.

Upstream version 0.4.5 of lcdproc was portable to all architectures.  That
0.5.1 is not is a regression, and it's not ok to "close" the issue by
declaring that only i386 and amd64 will be supported.  It is the release
policy that packages must be supported on all architectures where it is
"reasonable to do so", and it is most definitely reasonable to support
architectures where the package was building fine before.

The only architecture that should be dropped from the supported list for
this package is s390, because s390 does not support serial, parallel, and
USB devices; but all other archs must be supported.
