Those are different issues:

wicd-kde was specifically built on kfreebsd-* as it was built for each
architecture separately. But all packages built by the wicd source
package are architecture-independent, hence cannot care about specific
architectures.

This is a not so seldom case for architecture-independent packages
depending on architecture-specific packages not available on all
architectures, e.g. there are some architecture-independent packages
related to systemd (which is linux-only, too), but these packages are
available on kfreebsd-*, too, despite not being installable.

If it's no regression (i.e. the packages were installable in the
past), this is usually not considered an issue at all. Hence
downgrading to wishlist and retitling accordingly.

It does. The same also counts for hurd-i386.
