Ah, the pain with no autobuilders for non-free packages.
Exactly.
You will have to find a developer with access to all of the architectures ia64, mips, mipsel and s390 (m68k is ignored), and get them to build binaries of the package.
In principle this might be every developer via http://db.debian.org/machines.cgi but it is just a pain to do it this way (and does not always work - at least when I tried some months ago I was not able to compile the package I tried).
Or you can ask the ftpmasters to remove the binaries for these archs, but that normally take longer time.
That would be stupid because we *want* the architectures.
What about convincing the upstream developers to change the license to one of the free software licenses? It would solve the problem for good.
When I maintained this package I tried and I guess my successors tried as well. Another solution was suggested nearly 5 years ago http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2001/11/msg01472.html and if I remember also at other occurences but the search interface for the list archive does not uncover these mails and Google found only this one for a quick glance.
