Bug#655437: Confirmed

thanks
I have to confirm this. This (the problem reported by Martin) is
particularly confusing when several flavours are possible. On a x86-64
system, I get this:

This needs to be fixed for wheezy. However, since the choices presented
to the user are sorted alphabetically, the current situation must cause
a greater usage of the 486 image on i386, which works around #650819. It
may be wise to wait for #650819 to be fixed before uploading a fix for
this one.
