Enabling package build options for universe, which are disabled for main

Registered by Matthias Klose

The current practice of disabling build options for packages in main for which we do not want to support all build dependencies in main, leaves these binary packages unavailable in universe. There's currently no way to reenable these in universe. Examples are: no swig support for pike, disabling support for one spell checker for dictionary packages, where all dictionaries are built from the same source.
