Public bug reported:

The FTBFS[0] report shows an issue for gutenprint:

  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   sbuild-build-depends-main-dummy : Depends: architecture-is-64-bit but it is 
not installable
  E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
  apt-get failed.
  E: Package installation failed

The problem is that the package now no longer builds for armhf[1], which
is 32-bit.  This appears to have been an intentional change by Debian:

  gutenprint (5.3.4.20220624T01008808d602-2) unstable; urgency=medium

    * do not build this package on 32bit architectures anymore
      Closes: #1064088
      Closes: #1064089
      There was no patch attached to #1064089, so I can not reproduce the
      problems mentioned in #1064088. I am fed up with this poorly done
      transition, so I won't spend more time with this. Sorry 32bit people.

The transition referenced in the changelog is the time_t transition
performed late last cycle; presumably then reversing this change in
Ubuntu would merely exchange this FTBFS for a different one.

The question is then if the armhf binary for gutenprint was deleted from
the archive, would that result in other issues within the printing
stack?
