Hi,
[Steve's comments seem to suggest that patches to P-a-s might be OK, so
I'm CCing Lamont and Adam who seem to have done the last couple of
commits to P-a-s.]

Sorry, then I must have misunderstood the nature of the P-a-s file.
But then, I always thought of it as a relict that probably should be
gotten rid of once one believes that porters and maintainers can sort it
out by themselves.

Well, that certainly is the impression I get. After all, sombody has to
commit the changes.
As for "somebody else": Attached is a patch for the build stuff that I
think I have figured out.
Thinks I don't know:
helix-player: don't know.
hotkey-setup: might also work on amd64 ia64 (depends on dmidecode)
OTOH, maintainer usually seems to know what he's doing...
libpam-encfs: isn't arch-specific, see #340575. Maybe random arch
disabling should be RC...
%ogre-contrib: i386 amd64 # don't know, in contrib
prj2make-sharp: i386 powerpc s390
# amd64: #314517 without maintainer comment
# ia64 arm unknown, others disabled in P-a-s
Kind regards
T.
