I did add that support first.

Which early stages?  We have three stages:
- Before the arch reaches anything related to Debian.  In this stage, it
  does not matter if the package it all or any, it can be patched.
- While it lives on -ports, but dak does not know about it.  In this
  stage, the package needs to be managed manually.
- While it lived on -ports and dak knows about.  In this stage, support
  can be added as arch:any.
