I agree that there isn't a good reason, and I'm not sure how I ended up in that situation in the first place (the log files don't go back far enough). One thing I do know is that polkitd:i386 was marked as automatically installed, so I almost certainly did not make that decision deliberately. My speculation is that this happened while satisfying dependencies for a third party i386 application. That meant installing required 32 bit libraries, and one of them must have come with a polkitd dependency, and the i386 version was selected because I was installing an i386 package. Anyway, I reported this because I assumed that pinning packages to the native architecture was easy, so it would be justified even for this (hopefully!) rare scenario... apparently that's not the case.
