As far as rootskel-gtk is concerned, letting it build on s390x shouldn't change much. Ditto for the few xserver-xorg-* that produce udebs (which should be input-libinput and video-fbdev). If those end up being problematic on the debian-cd side, we have an exclude mechanism that can be used to drop any extraneous udebs. I don't remember the exact details, but s390x is special-cased already, with fewer images being built anyway. TL;DR: Dropping P-a-s without adjusting those packages shouldn't be an issue from a d-i point of view.
