File a bug against buildd.debian.org requesting to add the package to Packages-Arch-Specific as Linux only. But your package should be easily portable GNU/kFreeBSD because kfreebsd-* includes a Linux-compatible[1] /proc (linprocfs). I compiled it by removing the check for linux in linuxinfo.h, although the application ended in an infinite loop.
