The decision was taken based on community feedback to keep i386 around
for binary compatibility.
That includes compatibility with i386-only packages in the Ubuntu
archive itself, for which ports to other architectures are not
forthcoming.
Given that inkscape is building fine on i386, I don't see
All of those reverse-depends are arch:all, that's what I meant with "not
giving me anything" (sorry, I should have been clearer).
Now, I didn't know the i386 whitelist comes from germinate, thanks for
pointing that out.
so it seems that inkscape/i386 is kept because it's needed to build
game-data
I don't know why you are seeing that output, because this is what I see:
$ reverse-depends src:inkscape -a i386 -r impish
