How do I skip some known impossible to check architectures in
autopkgtests?

Concretely, the packages src:rust-hyper-rustls and
src:rust-rustls-native-certs both fail on powerpc64 and s390x, due to
missing packages on those architectures:

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/rust-hyper-rustls https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/rust-rustls-native-certs

It is *not* that the packages are unusable on those architectures - or
at least that is yet unknown. Instead, the underlying complexity is
that the autopkgtest-dependencies are architecture-independent source
code but packaged as architecture-dependent and not offered on those architectures.

Any thoughts on how¹ to proceed?

¹ ...other than give up and package as architecture-dependent.

There is a "skip-not-installable" that you could decleare in d/t/control
for these packages (for the corresponding tests that suffer from uninst
test deps), more details here[1]

Another way is to declare "Architecture: !s390x !ppc64el" in d/t/control
but I think this is in-appropriate for the said case.
