There is at least one reason, but there may be more.

u-boot somehow is a key package via d-i iirc.

u-boot build-depends-indep gcc-mips64el-linux-gnuabi64 [!mips64el], 
gcc-mipsel-linux-gnu [!mipsel]

gcc-mips64el-linux-gnuabi64 is built from gcc-defaults-mipsen

gcc-mips64el-linux-gnuabi64 depends on gcc-14-mips64el-linux-gnuabi64

gcc-14-mips64el-linux-gnuabi64 is built from gcc-14-cross-mipsen

gcc-14-cross-mipsen build-depends on linux-libc-dev-mips64el-cross

linux-libc-dev-mips64el-cross is built from cross-toolchain-base-mipsen

All of these assume amd64 as native architecture.

Helmut
