Then there is no problem to fix, should one then still file bugs? In the past I would have said "no" but a lot of other packagers disagreed and convinced me -- so the answer is a "yes" from me now. Other people simply might not know that the package is "for certain hardware only found on certain archs". So it should be written down somewhere. A bug is the right place for it. And in such cases you simply can close the bug after reporting (as I wrote in the first mail).
