It could. But at the risk there is some mistake involved, or that the maintainer wasn't aware of it and can work around the issue (can't you? Is upstream aware of this limitation?). Also, removing software from an architecture isn't particularly nice, so it should be a manual action from the maintainer. Please request your package to be removed from the arch it doesn't build for anymore (bug against ftp.debian.org, use reportbug) in unstable and britney will migrate that. Paul
