Dear Maintainer,

The following workaround seems to help:

/etc/apt/preferences

Package: linux-kbuild-*:i386
Pin: release o=Debian
Pin-Priority: -1

Before doing the workaround:

$ sudo aptitude safe-upgrade linux-image-amd64 linux-headers-amd64
Resolving dependencies...
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  linux-headers-6.5.0-2-amd64{a} linux-headers-6.5.0-2-common{a} linux-
image-6.5.0-2-amd64{a}
  linux-kbuild-6.5.0-2:i386{a}
The following packages will be upgraded:
  linux-headers-amd64 linux-image-amd64
2 packages upgraded, 4 newly installed, 0 to remove and 71 not upgraded.
Need to get 87.8 MB of archives. After unpacking 540 MB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?]
