Looking closer, this is coming from debian/rules:
  override_dh_auto_configure:
  ifneq (,$(filter $(DEB_HOST_ARCH), armel armhf mips mipsel))
        echo 'This architecture is not supported, exiting'
        exit 2
  endif


If yade is not building on these architectures, a better solution would 
be to change all "Architecture: any" in debian/control to a list of 
supported architectures.
