Yes, as far as I know:

deb [arch=i386,amd64] https://deb.debian.org/debian jessie main contrib non-free
deb [arch=i386,amd64] https://deb.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb [arch=i386,amd64] https://deb.debian.org/debian sid main contrib non-free
deb [arch=i386,amd64] https://deb.debian.org/debian experimental main contrib non-free

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 nvidia-legacy-390xx-kernel-dkms : Depends: nvidia-legacy-390xx-kernel-support--v1
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Also, aptitude says "UNAVAILABLE" when I hover over that package. Note
that I have an amd64 system, and the i386 version appears to be
available.

Thanks for your help so far!
