see the following part in Samuel's original bug report:

 "Until now, I've been reluctant to suggest this because
 systemtap-sdt-dev wasn't available on all arches, so it would be
 necessary to add it as a build-dependency for only some arches, which
 would involve hard-coding the list of arches systemtap builds on in the
 control files for those packages.  (This also prevents use on kfreebsd,
 hurd, or any arch that might be supported in GDB before it is supported
 in systemtap.)"
