The definition for the amd64 flavour includes this recommendation:

[amd64_image]
configs:
 kernelarch-x86/config-arch-64
 amd64/config
 amd64/config.amd64
desc-parts: xen
recommends: libc6-i686

However, the amd64 architecture also has a flavour called amd64 and
produces a package with the same name.  The two definitions have to be
merged to produce the control file entry, and at the moment there is no
provision for generating architecture-qualified relations at this point
- in fact, the recommendation would end up being applied to both i386
and amd64 architectures if i386 was processed first.
