While technically true, this can be discussed. I can imagine that you might not want to configure multiarch on your system just because you need some bootloaders files (e.g. syslinux-common in a CD build process). Using multi-arch to solve this problem means changing the package from arch: all to arch: i386 (or the specific arch set that you're interested in).
