So perhaps we should just do it for Test3 (if we do an x86_64 live cd)
and wait for people to file bugs / complain. Unless someone comes up
with real examples on why it's useful to include both 32- and 64-bit
packages I only see this as a waste of space and I'd hate to waste space
because "that's what we do for regular installs" :-)

(Btw, why do we include 32-bit packages nowadays for regular installs in
the first place? I never was able to figure that out, except for the
fact that OO.o was 32-bit only. As that is no longer the case perhaps
that decision needs to be revisited too.)

Sure, that's sensible. We need data.
