mmm, perhaps this is silly but you could do a binary NMU of your own
package (!). this way, if the package is fine in all arches except
i386, you would avoid having all others to recompile the package
(uploading a new source would make this necessary).
see §5.10.2.1 of the Developers Reference for a little more info.
