Do you have a link to a document describing this very old policy? I couldn't find a reference to it. It is possible in theory to build the packages on the buildds, by cross-compiling them with the --host flag to sbuild. The technical support for this is not part of dak. Your decision effectively forces us to file a RM request to FTP masters for all rust mips packages. There is no other feasible way we can satisfy your requirements.
