Yes; it's possible that the maintainer recruited users with different architectures to do the builds. Also, it's possible that one of the publically accessible machines cannot build a non-free package, because of license (perhaps supplying the source requires an NDA), or a build dependency on non-free components that the admins will not install. Then there are non-free non-US packages, which cannot be build on machines in the US. Richard Braakman
