Not intentional but, the way I understand it, that won't hurt since the
main build-dependency, gnat-4.4, is not available there and dak handles
that situation gracefully.  If I am mistaken, please add "!hurd-i386" to
all packages.

Not if I can't get access to a mips machine of if no mips porter is
interested enough to help[1]. 

[1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-mips/2010/01/msg00007.html

Only one response which is from someone who would also like to help, but
can't for lack of hardware.  qemu is so slow it is not an option
(gnat-4.4 is a *big* package).

All the packages I speak of are already built on all architectures
except the ones I specifically mentioned in my patch (alpha for all,
mips for a few).  The update excuses say that gnat-gps is blocked from
testing only because it has become unavailable on mips; since this is
intentional, I think the updates I asked on Packages-arch-specific would
(indirectly, perhaps) allow it to transition to testing along with all
its dependencies.  The same will hold for adacontrol in another 5 days.
