there might be IoT devices with LCD attached that run a fullscreen kiosk
app ... that app might be written in tcl/tk for whatever reason but use
gsettings for all its config ...
... where would you actually draw the line to define what an IoT device
needs and what not ?
and would patching the control files to not build i386 actually be less
work than the few architecture related build issues you might have
throughout a cycle ?
i think we should leave the archive untouched and just drop the official
ubuntu install media.
(if you actually have arch related issues you can still decide to handle
them with low priority)
