vcmi build depends on libluajit-5.1-dev but that got removed on
ppc64el because it doesn't work correcty on that architecture and
noone volunteers to fix *and maintain* it on that architecture. See
bug #1014853.
Please investigate if you can just use liblua or if your package needs
to be removed on ppc64el.
I thought according to the recent threat on d-devel [1] packages that
FTBFS on
some arches should rather just let it FTBFS instead of maintaining a
list of
architectures the package can be built on?

I don’t think Paul was necessarily asking to remove ppc64el from the
list of architectures in debian/control, but rather asking to remove the
ppc64el binary package if we can’t get it working with liblua.
The best course of action IMO is to file a RM bug for vcmi on ppc64el so
that the package can migrate to testing, and then if someone fixes the
Lua situation (either on pcc64el globally, or by switching vcmi to
liblua) the package will become available on ppc64el again.

Stephen
