In all that time we were not able to get it building on other architectures so it was never able to enter testing. I believe Debian is better served by having two supported architectures rather than zero. > Since this is a new source package, this normally wouldn't be an > RC bug.

Other packages are blocked not because the arches were dropped, but because ITK isn't in testing. Dropping unsupported arches is simply admitting reality. -Steve
