Bug#723129: should not be Architecture: any

Package: emscripten
Severity: serious
Tags: patch

Emscripten is marked Architecture: any, but indirectly (via nodejs) 
depends on libv8-3.14.5 which is not, and is hence rejected from testing 
for unsatisfiable dependencies.

The standard fix for that 
(http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.html#packages-arch-specific) 
would be to change the Architecture line of debian/control to
Architecture: i386 kfreebsd-i386 amd64 kfreebsd-amd64 armel armhf mipsel
and request removal of the existing broken binaries.  Is there a reason 
nobody has done this, or has it just not been noticed?

(If the build process actually does as little as suggested by the buildd 
logs, Architecture: all might work and would then be a better option, 
but I haven't investigated that in detail.)
