That's weird, but it should be harmless, otherwise these packages
wouldn't be multiarch:foreign (actually they could be arch:all, but I
don't want them to show up and maybe cause confusion on non-nvidia
architectures).
I cannot reproduce this by installing glx-alternative-nvidia in a
minimal sid amd64+armhf schroot. Maybe a bug in apt/aptitude/... you may
want to reassign it there.

That's reproducible (I manually installed update-glx:armhf afterwards),
can you reportbug reportbug ?
