while this is not wrong, testing risc-v on is currently not really sensible
for us as risc-v is not a Debian architecture yet.

while it's certainly good to prepare for the future we as tests.r-b.o have
enough to juggle right now that I don't wanna add more maintenace load and
rather focus on solving identified existing problems (eg snapshot.d.o not
scaling and our mirror being one arch only, etc etc pp, there are many)
of which most will also affect risc-v. so it's really rather counter productive
for us now to test risc-v - while it's not in debian - instead of addressing
those identified issues which also will affect risc-v once it's there for
real.
