I might be wrong, but I doubt this really fixes anything...

You're only preventing the new upload from being built on s390x
while the old version(s) are still available in the archive and
will satisfy the build-dependencies on s390x still. In other words
the applications implemented in go will still fail or succed depending
on which buildd they end up on.

Unless I'm mistaken above the bug is not fixed until you've gotten the
current binaries removed from the archive (which if you attempt will
likely mean the ftp team will ask you to first get reverse dependencies
removed, and so on....)

Please discuss this with ftp team.

(Adding and removing this on a whim rather than actually considering if
you can really support it seems very naive to me.)
