OK, setting severity to wishlist since it is not RC

I do not see any point to manually edit architectures list.  Specifying
architectures manually has the drawback that porters of new
architectures need to ask maintainers to add some new architecture (as
currently be done for loong64)  The fact that some port does not exist
is IMHO sufficient to know that the package does not build.  That's why
I set this bug to wishlist.
 
Kind regards
    Andreas.
