I have my personal i386 autobuilder running that way for some months now.
It makes sense; I certainly have caught quite a few problems with it --
there's not just the missing-dependency problem that makes packages
non(re)buildable.
Sure, some uploaded packages will be unbuildable, which would generate
more work for the builders, but that problem is solveable. For example, we
could block a package from building when two other autobuilders have
reported a failure on it. That would have the added benefit to place
somewhat less load on already-overworked architectures like m68k.
My vote would be to Just Do It. I can certainly help set up and/or admin a
few autobuilders for i386, if that's what it takes.

goes out, he should not leave his face at the window. Someone might steal it."
