The linux and linux-image metapackages should not be built on hppa or powerpc, since (as noted in debian/rules) those architectures can be either 32-bit or 64-bit and there is no one generic kernel for them. Conversely, those two metapackages should be built on ia64.

That is:

... and regenerate debian/control to match.
