It's less about "options" but more which foreign architectures are enabled in the testbeds. The common case is certainly to pull in i386 dependencies on amd64, and if there's a good case to be made for it, our amd64 containers could certainly grow a "dpkg --add-architecture i386" (unless they already have it). Other than that, tests of course always have the option to do that manually, and install the foreign-arch dependency manually with apt-get instead of d/t/control Depends:. Martin
