Please remove gmt everywhere except amd64 & arm64.

The gmt_update executable only supports those two.

Hi,

These kind of removal request are honestly getting out of hand.

At some point, the Debian archive will be 95% x86_64 and arm64 only
which means that users are being locked into certain proprietary
architectures. This is really a concerning direction.

Hi,


You mean proprietary OSs? Upstream said it wasn't supported on any Linux
platform.
