problems with i386-only packages

While running second round of corssgrading I stumbled at the packets that legitimately exists only in i386 architecture.

Packages I've noticed are:

sse2-support xserver-xorg-video-geode lib64atomic1 wine32 lib64gcc-s1 libc6-amd64

Removing them in the middle of crossgrading was a big problem. Lots of install --fix-brocken have been done, lots of dependencies have cherrypicked and removed. I would prefer to list such packages before crossgrading starts, and remove them manually on "stable" system. And I would expect crossgrading script helping me with that, or having proper instructions how to do it yourself, in crossgrading guide.

Issue noted while crossgrading Debian Bullseye i386->amd64
