This is a valid approach.

That's not enough, since that'll break upgrades. You'll have to make
some package on arm obsolete perl-Alien-ROOT.
In this case this is not necessary since perl-Alien-ROOT was never
installable on arm since its missing dependence was never available
there. So there is no installed version that needs to be obsoleted.
