No you are wrong. You have skipped the next sentence:
"... Packages are assumed to be supported on all architectures for which they
 have previously built successfully. ..."

Full quote of that paragraph:
"       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).
"

So this is at most important (not serious).

However it should be possible to be built on powerpc and s390, but as far
as I know s390 is not a part of the etch release architectures. However
powerpc is and that architecture contain the same problem.

However I'll contact upstream about this to determine why this problem occur.
