The package builds for me on amd64, i386, armhf (pbuilder chroots, armhf
via qemu). The existing amd64 binary works, i.e. I was able to query and
change the mcekill setting. (More settings are not supported, maybe
architecture/kernel/cpu dependent).

So maybe the packages-arch-specific setting is wrong.
