    Yup, but there are plenty of other packages which are arch-specific in
    debian, and i386 has the highest user-base by far. I am fully
    supportive and appreciative of debian's goal for support across the
    archs, however it seems the lowest-common-denominator approach is
    perhaps too heavy handed in some cases.

    Lack of other arch support could merely be considered bugs for fixing later.
