Bug Description

juju-core is "Architecture: amd64 i386" without an obvious explanation that I can see. In general, we shouldn't arbitrarily architecture-restrict things unless the limitation is very fundamental; it makes it more difficult to see at a glance why something isn't available on an architecture. golang-go is built on armhf, so on the face of it there seems no obvious reason why juju-core couldn't be made available on it, and it would at least be nice to be able to see a failing build log.

Personally I'd prefer if juju-core were just Architecture: any and we'd just have an obvious and quick dep-wait on powerpc, but at least it seems that we should add armhf; I thought we wanted to make this work there?

If this isn't possible right now for some reason (i.e. it will build but be broken), then I think it'd be helpful to have a comment explaining what's going on.

goyaml requires CGO support; this is not enabled in the golang package outside of x86 for 1.0 releases; however this should be sorted for 1.1 at which point we can switch to any.
