Is this a reason not to keep apt?
If so, I fail to see why. We have a perfectly good alternative that works
for some people, so I think it should be made available. If you would
like, specify that it's an i386 specific solution. As for official
support, these platforms didn't have a stable bo released for them. If
they are running a libc5 hamm that you mentioned, then they are running an
unstable system.
If not, and you were just asking an honest question, then I don't know the
answer. I only follow x86. I don't know if the testing group even has
the resources to try it (we are happy to get an x86 laptop).
