No. Apt should stop producing warnings for repositories that do not carry an architecture that is not enabled on the system. The new version of extrepo will refuse to enable a repository if none of the architectures supported by the repository are enabled on the system (either as the native architecture or as a foreign one). There is nothing more for extrepo to do. The fact that apt produces a useless warning that the architecture isn't supported is a bug in apt, not extrepo. -- "I never had a C in history!"
