If you mean, whether it can handle something like "Architecture: !ia64, !hppa", well, not yet, although it could be done. But that would mean stopping the use of make-kpkg-level architecture support, just like it does not use make-kpkg-level kernel-version support. Although that may not look like a big deal, that seems to show that at some time a redesign of the interface between make-kpkg and the patches themselves would be a good idea.
