If I were you I'd maybe build it on some of these architectures if I felt motivated to do so, and then file a bug on ftp.debian.org to get the old builds removed for the other architectures that are no longer autobuilding non-free software. If they don't want to autobuild it, why waste their CPU time and your time trying to do it manually. Ftp master is generally responsive to such requests. -- see shy jo
