solution for testing migration for arch:all package with missing i386 deps

[Sascha Steinbiss <sascha@steinbiss.name>]

Hi Afif,

I remember you had recently raised a discussion about circlator not
being able to migrate to testing because of dependencies missing for
i386. It now looks like ariba is stuck in the same situation [1]. It is
also quite likely that this is probably going to be a common problem for
any Python/Perl/... tool that depends on something like bwa, bowtie2 or
spades, for example. This is a combination which I could imagine
wouldn't be too uncommon, at least in our group.

In the ML thread, Ansgar mentioned a manual override that would get the
transition going in such cases [2] but I haven't been able to find out
how this was finally resolved for circlator -- could you probably point
me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Sascha
