Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Ubuntu-vm-builder (python-vm-builder), used by gitian, already supports
 multiple architectures, but lacks the release information for releases of
 ubuntu or debian for any cpu architectures other than i686 and x86_64.

 gitian also supports using LXC, via libvirt, instead of Qemu-KVM. This is
 used by default when the gitian environment is already virtualized.
 libvirt also supports using a qemu backend, for example, qemu-system-arm.

 Debian is also supported as a target by gitian, and debian supports a
 wider variety of architectures than ubuntu. A patch for python-vm-builder
 that includes all flavors of debian releases would be a step towards
 getting gitian to support other target architectures.
