This change doesn't meet the freeze criteria set by the release team.  I
don't know if you'd get an objection, but I don't think there's any reason
for this change to be uploaded to unstable if you're still trying to get
translation updates in for the package.

BTW, it's ok to make this change manually now, but it will be overwritten
the next time someone runs the update-archs target in debian/rules.  Which
is overdue, because there are a couple of architectures we're already
missing currently (powerpcspe, sparc64).  I don't think we should be
prioritizing architectures in the package list that aren't even supported by
dpkg yet, above those that are supported by dpkg.

Which is where type-handling is getting its architecture list these days -
the output of 'dpkg-architecture -L'.
