Dear Maintainer,
Sometimes aptitude makes bad choices when safe-upgrade is used, the problem
is probably in the aptitude resolver. Here is an example of this happening:
$ sudo aptitude safe-upgrade linux-headers-amd64
Resolving dependencies...
The following NEW packages will be installed:
linux-headers-6.3.0-1-amd64{a} linux-headers-6.3.0-1-common{a} linux-
kbuild-6.3:i386{a}
The following packages will be upgraded:
linux-headers-amd64
1 packages upgraded, 3 newly installed, 0 to remove and 33 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B/12.0 MB of archives. After unpacking 63.8 MB will be used.
Here aptitude wants to install linux-kbuild-6.3:i386 instead of
linux-kbuild-6.3:amd64. If I switch to using full-upgrade I get the following:
$ sudo aptitude full-upgrade linux-headers-amd64
The following NEW packages will be installed:
linux-doc-6.3{a} linux-headers-6.3.0-1-amd64{a} linux-
headers-6.3.0-1-common{a}
linux-image-6.3.0-1-amd64{a} linux-kbuild-6.3{a}
The following packages will be upgraded:
libcpupower1 linux-cpupower linux-doc linux-headers-amd64 linux-image-amd64
linux-libc-dev
6 packages upgraded, 5 newly installed, 0 to remove and 28 not upgraded.
Need to get 914 kB/124 MB of archives. After unpacking 718 MB will be used.
This actually caused a dkms module to stop compiling:

After changing linux-kbuild to amd64 the module builds correctly again:

A Debian user in #debian-apt suggested I try pinning the i386 architecture to
400 but this had no effect on aptitude's resolver choices. The concern here
being in what ways could aptitude break a Debian install if it decides to
install foreign packages over native ones?
