I noticed that too over the last few weeks as I tend to keep an eye on my aggregation at https://qa.debian.org/[email protected] | testing [1]. Your package src:rjava has been trying to migrate for 31 | days [2]. Hence, I am filing this bug. The version in unstable failed to | build on i386. | | If a package is out of sync between unstable and testing for a longer | period, this usually means that bugs in the package in testing cannot be | fixed via unstable. Additionally, blocked packages can have impact on | other packages, which makes preparing for the release more difficult. | Finally, it often exposes issues with the package and/or | its (reverse-)dependencies. We expect maintainers to fix issues that | hamper the migration of their package in a timely manner. | | This bug will trigger auto-removal when appropriate. As with all new | bugs, there will be at least 30 days before the package is auto-removed. Sure. Though that might be harsh / might affect other packages.

See eg [1] for the CRAN state of the package. No i386 there. I am not sure what else to do besides simply saying 'no longer builds on i386'.
