So this used to build on i386 but those binaries have been removed. I suppose we
could force this in.

That sounds like it's a regression, i.e. the version in testing is currently
installable on i386 whereas the version in sid isn't. That's why it doesn't
migrate. We could force it as well, making this package uninstallable on i386
(just as if it was arch:any and you had removed the i386 binaries).
Is that what you want?
Is it not possible to fix that rdep?
