It is entirely unclear to me what the value of this would be to do later
if it's not worth doing now.

Title:
gutenprint FTBFS due to 64-bit restriction
Status in gutenprint package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
The FTBFS[0] report shows an issue for gutenprint:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
sbuild-build-depends-main-dummy : Depends: architecture-is-64-bit but it
is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
apt-get failed.
E: Package installation failed
The problem is that the package now no longer builds for armhf[1],
which is 32-bit. This appears to have been an intentional change by
Debian:
gutenprint (5.3.4.20220624T01008808d602-2) unstable; urgency=medium
* do not build this package on 32bit architectures anymore
Closes: #1064088
Closes: #1064089
There was no patch attached to #1064089, so I can not reproduce the
problems mentioned in #1064088. I am fed up with this poorly done
transition, so I won't spend more time with this. Sorry 32bit people.

The transition referenced in the changelog is the time_t transition
performed late last cycle; presumably then reversing this change in
Ubuntu would merely exchange this FTBFS for a different one. (Perhaps
one avenue of solution would be to create the requested time_t patch
for #1064088?)
The question is then if the armhf binary for gutenprint was deleted
from the archive, would that result in other issues within the
printing stack?
