Recent Britney changes regarding i386 autopkgtests

[Tim Andersson]

Hi all,

We recently made a change to britney which causes source packages that
produce only Architecture: all binaries on i386 to not ever get queued for
autopkgtest.ubuntu.com.

This is because, for actual end users, the dependencies of an arch: all
package on non-arch: all packages are satisfied by the amd64 binaries, not
i386 binaries. So these i386 source packages with all `Architecture: all`
binaries are redundant because of the amd64 tests for the same package.

The change has been made to both regular britney, and security britney.

autopkgtest.ubuntu.com does not do any similar check - you can still queue
these packages via the webpage if you so wish.

Regards
