The i386 Gtk IM plugins wouldn't be used if gtk2.i386 isn't installed,
right?  Similarly PAM i386 modules aren't needed when pam.i386 isn't
installed and NSS i386 modules when glibc.i[36]86 isn't installed.
In that case it would be best if this kind of dependency was somehow encoded
in the packages, rather than just forcing installation of unneeded i386
packages.
