As discussed on IRC, while I agree that this would be an improvement (in that it would hide the problem from dependency analysis tools, which typically have to ignore missing dependencies of Architecture: all packages on non-i386 in order to be at all practical to run), I think it ignores the issue that we should not be presenting uninstallable packages to users. Architecture: all packages that contain scripts (as opposed to large data packages) are typically small enough that the small amount of duplication in the archive resulting from making them architecture-dependent is of very little consequence, especially when the effect is presenting a cleaner archive to users invoking their package manager on less-common architectures.
