> I'm going to remove "armel" from the list of Architectures.

And as usual, i'm completely lost when it comes to that part. It's easy to
do something,
but i don't understand clearly all the consequences on existing armel
packages that depend
or build-depend on nodejs;
- should i whitelist in debian/control Architecture field ?
it seems error-prone since i must be sure i'm not forgetting any official
arch, and blacklisting
is not possible ("any -armel" would have been so cool, though).
- should i leave architecture "any", and ask removal of nodejs/armel from
testing then artificially
make it fail when building on armel ?

Help !
