There is work on adding more architectures in mes upstream (e.g. arm,
arm64, FreeBSD, Hurd, riscv64)...

My understanding was in Debian to not pre-emptively restrict
architectures...

I have gotten bugs on other packages for adding architecture
restrictions before even though it FTBFS on those architecture
before.

Having architecture restrictions by default requires porters to get a
sourceful upload to enable building that package (or maintaining a
fork).

I can see the logic of either approach...
