Judging from what I gather from porters, making packages Architecture:
i386 isn't generally a great idea. From the point of view of the
release, getting it to build cleanly on all architectures where it's
built before is sufficient; if new architectures can be added later, so
much the better.

I'd leave it as Architecture: any and let porters or users of other
architectures file bugs if they experience problems.

Great! Please take it off our hands. :)
