If #1054278 in unifont can be fixed, then it looks as though it would be 
sufficient to remove the binary packages built by:

* libalien-wxwidgets-perl
* libwx-glcanvas-perl
* libwx-perl
* libwx-scintilla-perl

from s390x. This would make chordpro, eekboek, kephra, libdemeter-perl, 
libwx-glcanvas-perl, libwx-perl-datawalker-perl, 
libwx-perl-processstream-perl and needrestart-session unbuildable or 
uninstallable on s390x, but those packages can be ignored because 
they're Architecture: all.

A preview of what we would have to ask the ftp team to do:
