The xrt package has been added quite recently to all series explicitly
for the need of enabling the Xilinx platforms for Ubuntu, so it's use is
explicitly limited to this usage. So there is no actual risk of
regressing any users, or breaking user expectations.

The addition of the amd64 binaries was an accident in the first place
and, as mentioned, there is no actual use case for having those around -
not to mention the fact that upstream seemed very unhappy that the amd64
binaries have been published. So basically the amd64 binaries here are
actually a bug that we should strive to fix, regardless if it means
removing packages.

So I'm +1 on getting the amd64 arch removed. Also, since this is an HWE
related update, I would consider this a rather special case for pulling
in new upstream releases. It's not ideal, but since this is all for the
enablement efforts, I would say we should consider taking the backport
as-is.
