Hi all,

Your other friendly gnuastro Debian package maintainer/uploader here. :-)

Currently, gnuastro is being built on Debian for the following architectures.

Architecture
============

alpha
amd64
arm64
armel
armhf
hppa
i386
ia64
m68k
mips64el
ppc64
ppc64el
riscv64
s390x
sh4
sparc64
x32

A great many to support. I am proposing reducing this number to the following
and if
interest exists in others, they can be re-added where decided at a later
date.

amd64
arm64
mips64el
ppc64
ppc64el
riscv64

This change will also remove the development/support burden of older 32-bit
architectures.
Very few distributions support them these days and removing them will prevent
diversion of
resources in order to take care of them.

Thoughts?

Regards

Phil
