Bug#681757: uninstallable meta-packages (prevents testing migration)

Source: meta-gnome3
Version: 1:3.4+1
Severity: serious

Due to additional dependencies that were added recently, the gnome meta
packages are no longer installable on all architectures:

> gnome/armel unsatisfiable Depends: aisleriot (>= 3.4)
> gnome/armhf unsatisfiable Depends: aisleriot (>= 3.4)
> gnome/ia64 unsatisfiable Depends: aisleriot (>= 3.4)

This is due to guile-2.0 failing to build on those architectures. [1]
Afaics no bug has been filed for guile-2.0 about those build failures.

> gnome-core-devel/ia64 unsatisfiable Depends: libseed-gtk3-dev (>= 3.2)
> gnome-core-devel/mips unsatisfiable Depends: libseed-gtk3-dev (>= 3.2)

seed has been broken on those architectures for a while and I don't
expect a fix any time soon. 

> gnome/s390x unsatisfiable Depends: rygel-preferences (>= 0.14)
> gnome/s390x unsatisfiable Depends: rygel-playbin
> gnome/s390x unsatisfiable Depends: rygel-tracker

failing test suite on s390x. Andreas doesn't expect any users on s390x
so didn't put any effort in investigating this issue.

At this point, I'd probably just arch-qualify those dependencies and
exclude those archs.
