I don't think anything needs to be done. I don't have any problem  
with the +universal variant being listed even if it doesn't work. If  
someone tries it and it does not work, then they should submit a bug  
report to the maintainer, just as they would for any other problem  
with the port. Then the maintainer will either fix it or add a  
universal variant which just outputs a us_msg explaining that a  
universal build is not available at this time. Problem solved.
