Could this be enough for now? I filed this as MR [1]. The pipeline on that push went fine first [2], while there was a job within the pipeline named "D-I" which I triggered manually and that failed, however I'm not exactly sure what this job does, and what failed there; a mini.iso image was however successfully created. I did not notice this pipeline funtionality before. Is this expected to work? Comparing all the remaining packages with debdiff shows no unexpected differences compared to the previous version, so for me it looks ok. Maybe someone wants to take a look?

While I totally stand behind this, with the kfreebsd's removed now even from the ports [1], maybe it's time to stop building console-setup-freebsd? And now, due to changes in our migration software, this issue has caused console-setup to be blocked for 34 days already [1]: uninstallable on arch amd64, not running autopkgtest there I'll hint it through now, but it would be nicer if console-setup-freebsd would be dropped next time (as it would ensure src:console-setup gets the normal autopkgtest treatment).

I noticed that there are packages (for example pm-utils) whose
architecture is 'all' and nonetheless they are not installable on
kFreeBSD because of unsatisfiable dependencies. Does this mean the
architectures are not equal in rights - an 'all' package is allowed to
be uninsallable on kFreeBSD but not on Linux?
Hence I would suggest to change the Architecture field of
console-setup-freebsd to kfreebsd-any (and to linux-any for c-s-linux,
obviously).
This would require an unnecessary recompilation of the package for all
architectures, something I'd like to avoid. On a slow machinke (like
those used by build daemons on some architectures) the compilation of
console-setup could take hours.
If an 'all' package is not allowed to depend on kFreeBSD-only package,
then I'd rather lower the dependencies of console-setup-{linux,freebsd}
from strong Depends to merely recommends. There are enough checks in
the scripts of console-setup to make sure it will work (with reduced
functionality, of course), if some of its dependencies are not
satisfied. In addition to this, it is possible to apply the
distributive law of the propositional calculus and use the following in
console-setup and console-setup-mini:
Depends:
kbd | console-tools | console-setup-freebsd,
console-setup-linux | console-setup-freebsd,
console-setup-linux | vidcontrol,
console-setup-linux | kbdcontrol,
kbd | console-tools | vidcontrol,
kbd | console-tools | kbdcontrol
Hopefully, the great APT will not get too much confused by this. :)

Bug#619328: console-setup-freebsd: Uninstallable on Linux hosts
Package: console-setup-freebsd Version: 1.71 Severity: normal Hi, as silly as it might sound, I tried to install the arch:all console-setup-freebsd on my amd64 (aka linux-amd64) and it is not installable because of unsatisfiable dependencies. This is likely to forbid the entry of this package to testing (without manual handling from the Release Team). I think the Architecture: all field (which Policy defines as architecture- independent package) is wrong: although the files shipped by the package aren't compiled for a specific CPU architecture, they are still tightly tied to an architecture in the Debian sense (the name of the package itself is a sufficient indication of this). Hence I would suggest to change the Architecture field of console-setup-freebsd to kfreebsd-any (and to linux-any for c-s-linux, obviously).
