Was this ever addressed? If so, can someone point me to some info about it because I missed it. I found another case where we might want to say "I don't care". Totem (media player) pulls in a bunch of plugins. Some of these don't build for certain archs, but we don't care because they're plugins and we just won't have support for <insert some rarely used video format here> when running in some arch:
Portfile changed since last build; discarding previous state. ---> Computing dependencies for totem. Error: Cannot install totem for the arch(s) 'i386 x86_64' because Error: its dependency gst-plugins-bad does not build for the required arch(s) by default Error: and does not have a universal variant.
