Thanks for the background.
Technically there /are/ firefox-esr builds on mipsel in bullseye, but
they're really old:
firefox-esr | 78.15.0esr-1~deb11u1 | oldstable |
source, mipsel
chromium doesn't build for mips* in any case, and bullseye-LTS won't
support mips*el. So the practical effect AFAICT is that we lose the
ability to build firefox-esr and thunderbird on mips64el for bookworm.
I /assume/ that isn't particularly an issue.
