If the package never build before on the given platform, I do not
believe it is an RC bug that it fail to build.  Because of this, I
suggest redusing the severity to important.

'serious' should be used if it is breaking etch rc policy, and
according to <URL:http://release.debian.org/etch_rc_policy.txt>, the
following holds:

  4. Autobuilding
  [...]

  Packages must autobuild without failure on all architectures on
  which they are supported. Packages must be supported on as many
  architectures as is reasonably possible. Packages are assumed to be
  supported on all architectures for which they have previously built
  successfully. Prior builds for unsupported architectures must be
  removed from the archive (contact -release or ftpmaster if this is
  the case).

I guess the question is if ktechlap can be reasonably supported on
s390.  I leave that to the maintainer to decide.

Is <sys/io.h> only available on some archs?
