packages that only build on some architectures show 'Not yet built' (instead of 'will not build' or something)

Bug Description

https://launchpad.net/people/doko/+packages shows sun-java5 as "Not yet built", which is wrong. The package doesn't build binaries other than for i386 amd64 and ia64.

https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/edgy/+source/sun-java5/1.5.0-07-0ubuntu1
has the wrong status "Needs building" as well.

Soyuz doesn't store/treat SPR.architecturehintlist as required.
Currently, it is not possible to find out if a package is pending build in supported architecture or if it's not expected to be built for it.
However it doesn't lead the backend system to make mistakes, it's only a lack of information.
