Bug#947257: gnome-online-accounts: Please omit gnome-online-accounts binary package on Ubuntu/i386

[Steve Langasek]

Package: gnome-online-accounts
Version: 3.34.1-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Hi Jeremy,

In Ubuntu, we are in the process of moving the i386 architecture to a
compatibility-only layer on amd64.  We are keeping libgoa on i386 because it
is a dependency of libgdata but the gnome-online-accounts binary package
built from this source has dependencies on other packages that are not being
kept as part of the compatibility library set (python3-macaroonbakery).

We would like to drop the gnome-online-accounts binary package rather than
keeping it around in the Ubuntu archive and uninstallable.  Would you please
consider applying the attached patch, or something like it, to omit building
this binary package on Ubuntu?

Thanks for considering,
