Hi Pau,

"Which builder to use" decision doesn't belong to the queue-builder, but
instead to the slave-scanner (build dispatcher/ result collector).

Anyway, despite of being already in our plans, a realistic solution for
build arch-independent binaries in any builder available will require deeper
changes in the way the builders work today.

(good news is that PPA is going to help us to test those changes quickly)

This situation will get better, or at least, the problem will be mitigated, by
having more i386 builders in production.

Thanks
