It's hardly a bug. But I improved the long description of the package
to make it clear that those packages must not be installed on your regular
system.

Bug#884585: live-build: Grub autodetect option no longer works with 686 kernel

The reportbug templates are not always very appropriate when you
just want to submit a patch... just go straight to the explanation
of the patch and why it should be merged.

Applied. I also renamed the variables for consistency.

Applied to git, had to update it due to the rename of variables that I
made earlier.

Your patch does nothing except dropping the ":amd64" suffix. You could
just as well not use the suffix and use your system where you manually
enabled the foreign architecture.

I would have expected your patch to somehow add the foreign architecture
to the build chroot and figure it out from there.

As it stands, I don't see the point of this patch.
