The ExcludeArch bugs _should_ be used anytime someone excludes an architecture
from a package.  It's a policy we have.  People don't follow it for one reason or

More seriously, we do have a "team".  It consists of David Woodhouse, me, and
perhaps a few others.  We should really update the PPC page in the wiki a bit.
