It does. For example, classpath.

http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?excuse=classpath

Excuse for classpath

    * 28 days old (needed 10 days)
    * classpath/hppa unsatisfiable Depends: libgcj-common
    * classpath/mips unsatisfiable Depends: libgcj-common
    * classpath/mipsel unsatisfiable Depends: libgcj-common
    * Valid candidate 


If you would set the Architecture field properly, then it could be
set properly for the classpath package as well and it could actually
go into testing.

When you make a decission to sudenly stop building on some archs, 
you should change the Architecture field accordingly. This is in the
Policy 5.6.7
