For the record, libc6-i686 is not a useful comparision.  libc6-sparc64
is standard (in the archive, the control file still says required). 
libc6-s390x is the same.  libc6-ppc64 is required.

libc6-i686 (like libc6-sparcv9) is something quite different - it's an
optimization package, it doesn't enable any new functionality.

I have no opinion on whether those priorities are right or whether
libc6-amd64 should be consistent with them.
