No, please use a positive (or negative, but positive preferred)
architecture whitelist in *all* cases your package does not build
on all supported platforms. This also helps reduce buildd load,
because it costs quite a bit to try and build that.

It will also make your DDPO look cleaner, whereas, in the current
situation, it will show lots of errors.

>new release it might become supported.

A new release where it’s supported could just extend the whitelist.
