You can also confirm this by looking at the first section of:

https://magenta.jak-linux.org/ubuntu-archive/distcheck/noble.armhf/proposed-binaries.txt

which tells you if you have a libfoo1 and libfoo1t64 in the same package
in the first section (trivial conflicts), in which case just go ahead with removing it.

You can also go solely by that report in theory, but then you might want
to look at the one that only lists regressions vs release:
