Fine.  Next time please keep the bug report in CC which makes this more
transparent also for the bug reporter.

For sure this is possible if the package is available only for these
architectures.  If this is really the case and upstream states this
it should be specified in the Architecture field of debian/control.

I have no idea.  If you want to make this sure please help fixing the
said bugs - at least to my experience this is the best way to answer
your question. ;-)

I personally had a quick look into vxl but had no clue yet.  I would
need to ask on debian-mentors.  I'd be really happy if you could help in
this specific one.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
