The makefile or deb-build script uses uname -m to determine the
architecture, and upstream needs to add LPIA to the different build
scripts and create an "achitecture-config file" before it will be
supported. So for openafs it is not a question of compiler flags only.
Below is a transcript from Russ Allbery.

He agrees it should not be hard for upstream to do, but untill they
actually supports it, i think we should remove LPIA from the buildds to
save both resources and avoid FTBFS e-mails for every package update.
