My non-user packaging view says:  If upstream is not testing /
supporting i386 any more we will have a hard time to support it.  Thanks
to our autopkgtests we know that there is an issue on this architecture.
If we can't fix it, removing the failing architecture makes probably
sense.

I think so.

Kind regards
