i don't see how this should work in practice.
the "package webpage" is more-often than not¹ a bad source for 
information about "what is available".

and how would you present the data?
(unhiding data based on "no results" looks like a bad idea to me, as it 
makes the search results inconsistent)


also: why would "you" (the hypothetical user of that feature) be 
interested in "what is available" in the first place? would you consider 
upgrading your system to Linux, just because the "gonzo" lib is not 
available for macOS?

and if you are interested in other architectures, why don't you just 
disable hiding foreign archs?
