It's supposed to only be buildable on a ppc environment, be it native
or crosscompiled. The problem is that right now we don't have a clear
way to specify this kind of build requirement.

What I can do is ask for an addition to Packages-arch-specific so that
buildd (using P-a-s should not try this package if not on ppc), and
then add checks to the package itself to bail out sooner and give a
proper error message.
