Unfortunately, the compiler-id also depends on the build directory. Which 
means that the compiler id changes between arches.

Unfortunately, yes.

I'm afraid this will break when rakudo is rebuilt in unstable.

I may have missed something, but why not keep the following lines as ben file:

    Affected: .depends ~ /(^|\s)raku-api-/
    Good: !.edos-debcheck ~ /uninstallable/
    Bad: .edos-debcheck ~ /uninstallable/

This is what is currently specified in 
https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/rakudo.html

All the best
