Same here, actually.  I just spotted the error during a routine
all-architectures check (consulting buildd.d.o) of source packages
building binary packages that had shown up on amd64 but not i386 or vice
versa.  i386 turned out to be a false positive here, as mothur-mpi
explicitly excludes 32-bit architectures, but I stumbled across the ia64
error along the way.

Presumably both; regardless, I'd remove the flag unconditionally,
because it's redundant at best.

Great, thanks!  I'll go ahead with a team upload shortly, then.
