Being an arch:all package, it will appear on all architectures.  Britney
uses i386 as the architecture to determine whether an arch:all package
is installable or not.

Please file a bug against release.debian.org requesting assistence for
this special case[1] (explaining the situation).  The alternative is to
make beast-mcmc an arch:amd64 package.  In the given case, it might make
sense...

of special case.
