Another point (thanks Anthony): although the sca fix above ensures that
buyers will no longer see a "Not available for your version" for
multiarch apps, when they click on the Install button:
* for i386 users, everything should work fine
* for amd64 users, they will currently see a Not found response in USC, as the
apt url provided does not include the :i386 suffix (and that isn't a problem
sca can solve - as we can't know definitively the arch of the user... we do
know this for chromium users, and may be able to help them).
USC would ultimately need to recognise an apt://foopackage as a possible
multi-arch when searching.

Title:
Some packages say "not available for your current Ubuntu version" when
viewed from purchase list
Status in Online service used by software center:
Fix Committed
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
From the "Reinstall Previous Purchases" page of Software Center on
precise/amd64, some packages say "Purchased on YYYY-MM-DD but not
available for your current Ubuntu version." when they in fact are. For
example, Shatter and Space Pirates and Zombies say this today, while
Dustforce installs fine. It's perhaps notable that the
/subscriptions?complete_only=True listing for the two broken games
returns an archless package name and just "multiarch" as the
architecture.
It also affects installation from the HIB page on software-
center.ubuntu.com. The issue can be worked around by searching for the
software in the "For Purchase" section and clicking "Buy..." instead
of using the "(already purchased)" item.
I'm using software-center 5.2.6, in case that's relevant.
