I do not believe adding this Ubuntu diff was helpful.
The actual reverse dependency output is:
$ reverse-depends -b src:gutenprint
No reverse dependencies found
$ reverse-depends src:gutenprint
Reverse-Recommends
==================
* cups-backend-bjnp [amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el riscv64 s390x]
* kubuntu-desktop [amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el riscv64]
* lubuntu-desktop [amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el riscv64 s390x]
* lubuntu-desktop-minimal [amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el riscv64 s390x]
* printer-driver-all (for printer-driver-gutenprint)

Reverse-Depends
===============
* printer-driver-all-enforce (for printer-driver-gutenprint)
printer-driver-all-enforce is an arch: all package so the unsatisfiable
dependency on armhf is not a problem and actually gutenprint with the
build dependency change migrated to oracular without a problem.
There is a large and increasing number of universe packages that don't
build on armhf, often with build-dependencies on architecture-is-64-bit.
I do not think we need to try to undo those Debian changes in Ubuntu.
Therefore, I intend to sync a newer version of gutenprint to undo this
fix.

Title:
gutenprint FTBFS due to 64-bit restriction
Status in gutenprint package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
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. (Perhaps
one avenue of solution would be to create the requested time_t patch
for #1064088?)
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?
