it seems like the whole ia32 transition is a major illness.

apt-get now installs random packages from i386 over the ones from amd64 in
case that the version from i386 is superior. that just happened for
initscripts sysvinit sysvinit-utils and rar on my system.

why the heck does ia32-apt-get replace amd64 packages with i386 ones at
all? is this an attempt to slowly migrate amd64 systems to i386 ones?
