Sadly this is a nasty situation. (I'm in the same boat with munin). 

There are 2 answers, neither ideal (I'd love to hear better): 

1. Make your package archfull. Add ExcludeArch/ExclusiveArch. 

2. Leave it noarch and ExcludeArch: ppc64, then try and keep rebuilding
it until you hit a non ppc builder. 

I tried various other things, none of which worked. ;(
