Tomboy isn't available in universe for i386 because it fails to build:

http://people.ubuntulinux.org/~lamont/buildLogs/t/tomboy/0.2.0-1/tomboy_0.2.0-1_20041018-1842-i386-failed

Both are missing on amd64 due to build failures.

Generally, these cycles are broken through a bootstrapping process which
involves using existing binary packages from Debian.
