I think it's even more limited: the binary packages must still be built
on other architectures s.t. it shows up for the source package.
IIRC gcc-X (or more likely gcc-cross-X) was once responsible for this by
stopping to build a package on amd64 that was not intended for amd64,
but unfortunately got manually decrufted a few hours before I wanted to
finally look into this issue, so I didn't have something to test against.

ACK.

If some similar condition shows up in the future, please let me know
s.t. I can look into it.
