Bug Description
The primary archive has picked up a feature that allows us to include and/or exclude source packages from creating build records on partial arches (initially used for deprecation of most of i386). Currently, PPAs also follow the {white,black}lists of the parent primary archive, with no way to opt out.
Given that one of the major use-cases (especially for third parties) of PPAs is to build packages that don't exist in Ubuntu, and certainly wouldn't be whitelisted in the primary archive, a toggle to follow (or not) the Ubuntu arch-restrictions would be nice.

If/when such a toggle is added, it could probably use some informative help text that notes that ignoring the primary archive's arch-restriction lists will cause build records to be created, but in many/most cases, the build dependencies themselves won't exist in the primary archive on partial arches, so caveat emptor, ymmv, glhf.
