apt does what it is told – appstream configures apt to download only the
files for the native architecture, so there is no sensible action to be
taken by apt and hence this task invalid.

If "$(NATIVE_ARCHITECTURE)" in the apt.conf file shipped by appstream is
changed to "$(ARCHITECTURE)" apt will download the files for all
configured architectures – if that is really desired is what appstream
developers have to figure out. I will add that it might be also a good
idea to add support for Components-all first to avoid at least a bit of
duplication (yes, apt supports downloading those files, too, it just
wont by default – but that default can be switched via Release file
metadata).

** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
