Bug Description

if you ask for de-virtualization for a PPA, you currently only get amd64, i386 and powerpc enabled by default. you have explicitly to ask to enable armel and armhf. unfortunately there is no option to disable powerpc as well.

powerpc is now the architecture with the lowest resources, and shows a queue of builds for most of the time. it would really help if PPA's like linaro-overlays could avoid building on powerpc.

we surely can ask for removal of the powerpc port, but avoiding the waste of buildd resources imho would be a better way.

This is not a bug, we just need to mark the architecture as restricted.
