this was intentional, as ltsp doesn't really have testing network boot
support for most architectures, and many architectures don't really seem
to likely to be useful as thin-clients.

i'm having trouble finding documentation for the process to reduce the
number of architectures for a set of packages.

changing "Architecture: any" to "Architecture: foo bar baz" clearly
seems to stop the package from sucessfully building, but doesn't stop a
buildd from attempting to build the package.

from what i've gathered, i'll need to contact ftp-master and/or
debian-release about getting the packages removed from unstable and
testing?

thanks for your help!

live well,
