OK, you make persuasive arguments. I'll remove it.

At the time this check was implemented, many of Debian's architectures
had a wide range of RAM in buildds. There are far fewer "small" buildds
in the supported architectures these days. I think by now, most
architecture that do have some small buildds have blacklisted pypy on
them, so I am not too worried about blocking up the build queue.

I was more concerned about wasting time architectures with varying RAM
in buildds than archs that only have small buildds, where it'd be
unlikely to build anyway. But I can see why this would be an issue on
those archs.
