isc-dhcp is not built on i386.  initramfs-tools is, because:

initramfs-tools                       | initramfs-tools                    | live-build                                  | Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-discuss at lists.ubuntu.com>      |            9080 |              68

I think that patching live-build to not require initramfs-tools is
uninteresting and that we should just build dhcpcd on i386.

However, I prefer that the changes requiring such seeding ACTUALLY be in the
archive before requests are made.  So I'm not whitelisting it before
initramfs-tools is uploaded.

Note that the reason isc-dhcp is not built on i386 is that despite
initramfs-tools being the only remaining user of isc-dhcp-client out of the
box, we never made initramfs-tools directly depend on it but instead pulled
it in via ubuntu-minimal; and ubuntu-minimal, being a package autogenerated
from seeds, silently ignores missing packages.
