Hi Noodles!

I wasn't thinking of either validating or automatically adding the i386 arch when amd64:multiarch is selected. This could definitely help, either if it complains when the reviewer selects only amd64:multiarch or if it automatically adds i386, but I don't think it's really necessary, right? I mean, afaict the only undesired side-effect if you select *only* amd64:multiarch is that people on i386 wouldn't be offered to download the app, when we're certain that it would work.

Possibly adding i386 when amd64:multiarch is selected, via javascript on the client, would be better than validating server side. That way if for any reason at some point amd64:multiarch makes sense on its own, the user can still explicitely de-select i386 (after it's been added by clicking on amd64:multiarch), and submit the form like that.

Any of these options I'd give extra points, but if not I think we can trust the reviewers to select the right distro-arch-series combinations.
