Yes, and I already contacted the list about that.  I will atleast
need a full list of packages that should get excluded.

It's not because upstream only tests those that it might not be
useful and work on some other arches like ia64.  But I can
understand that you want someone to test it before you put it
in the archive.

Setting it to "i386 ia64 amd64 powerpc" should prevent it
from getting build on kfreebsd-*.  It never got build on it.
That however doesn't mean the porters might not look at
why you excluded it.
