I'm not the m-tx maintainer. I've just noticed that the m-tx source
code is Pascal and the Pascal compiler is only avalable on a limited
set of arches. This is probably the reason.
Indeed you are right, I misread the build-log and didn't notice this.
It seems likely that the maintainer looked at the list of architectures
freepascal was available on and used that as their architecture list,
then failed to update the list as freepascal added support for new
architectures (armel and armhf).
Yes, one could set the arch to any and then wait, for which arches
the built packages appear. ;-)
IMO that is the most reasonable thing to do, that way when new
architectures are added to freepascal (hopefully we will have mips
support before jessie release) m-tx will be built without any further
intervention.
I've just uploaded to raspbian with the debdiff at
http://debdiffs.raspbian.org/main/m/m-tx/m-tx_0.60d-5%2brpi1.debdiff .
I've tested that the package builds successfully with this change on
debian armel, debian armhf and raspbian armhf.
If noone objects I intend to NMU this change to sid after the wheezy
release (the target distribution, version number and email address in
the changelog entry will be changed for the debian upload).
