Hi Anthony. Don't we need to enforce this though? As selecting
amd64-multiarch means that the i386 package can be installed from the
archive and installed on amd64 systems - AIUI (or have I
misunderstood), which would mean that the reviewer *must* ensure it's
available for i386 (in the archive) to select this? Or maybe you're
aware of that but think the UI would be more consistent without that
restriction?... Ah, or, if the reviewer selects amd64-multiarch, we
*automatically* add i386 to the arches for that app?
