But now they can handle it, so it is ok.

Yes, it still does until the bootstrap process can be fully automated
(I believe there are tools to help here, but I don't know them). If
you want to help here, the correct solution is to:

1. Setup an $arch VM or use the porterbox
2. Build $package using -Pstage1 -B arguments to dpkg-buildpackage
3. Upload the resulting (limited) package
4. Rebuild packages without -Pstage1 that required $package in !stage1

And rinse and repeat 2-4 for each package involved as long as any
package has unresolvable build-depends.

I would suggest contacting the porters first though, as multimedia
codecs are not likely to be the first priority. Perhaps adding more
packages to the build queue actually hinders their progress!
