Debian as a distribution that aims to build on as many architectures as 
possible?

An idea when this will be released? Because, I'm currently preparing a 
patch[0] to disable the opencv plugin in the gst-plugins-bad1.0 package, 
so if opencv is not building on all architectures (due to gdal?), 
gst-plugins-bad1.0 will have to keep a list of architectures where to 
build its plugin anyway....
