Thanks for explanation, it was so obvious !

from a user point of view, default filtering can be frustating : user 
has no indication why the searched software is not listed.
I had same problem with google store while installing an app into 2 
devices with 2 different os versions.
In my example, I knew that dekko exists so it looked like a bug when I 
didn't see it in results.
Finally, "it's not a bug, it's a feature" ;-)

A better user feedback would be a nice complement to bug #1378853 :
show results from other arch with info that they can't be installed.
Designers should have an idea how to list them : inside existing results 
or beneath them ?
