Any chances to get armhf builds on your PPA? What is your official position in this regard?

I just enable arm64 , armel armhf in the unstable PPA.
I'll do the same for stable ppa when next version is released.

Yes and the configure log isn't helpful:

checking for Qt5 qmake >= 5.5.1... /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/qt5/bin/qmake
checking whether QtDBus should be enabled... no
checking for boostlib >= 1.35 (103500)... yes
configure: Boost CPPFLAGS: "-I/usr/include"
                Boost LDFLAGS: "-L/usr/lib/armv7l-linux-gnueabihf"
checking whether the Boost::System library is available... yes
configure: error: Could not find a version of the library!
debian/rules:7: recipe for target 'override_dh_auto_configure' failed
make[1]: *** [override_dh_auto_configure] Error 1

I don't know which lib failed. Was it boost? (but it has found it)
If you're willing to debug a local armhf build of xenial and find what is the problem, I'll try to fix it.

@sledgehammer999 maybe reason is the different parameters passed to ./configure. rules file in 16.04 and 17.10 are different:

xenial rules

override_dh_auto_configure:
	mkdir -p build-nox && cd build-nox && ../configure --prefix=/usr --disable-gui
	mkdir -p build-gui && cd build-gui && ../configure --prefix=/usr

artful rules

override_dh_auto_configure:
	mkdir -p build-nox && cd build-nox && ../configure --prefix=/usr --disable-gui \
		--with-boost-libdir=/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)
	mkdir -p build-gui && cd build-gui && ../configure --prefix=/usr \
		--with-boost-libdir=/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)

namely the parameter '--with-boost-libdir=/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)', is absent in the xenial version

UPD
Successfully built armhf Ubuntu Xenial --with-boost-libdir=/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)
