This can unfortunately not be expressed via package dependencies afaik
and dropping SystemCallArchitectures= doesn't seem like a good idea. I
suspect this was added upstream for a good reason
I'm also not convinced if it's worth complicating the maintainers
scripts for such an exotic case.

If you send a patch though, we will have a look at it.
