So it would need 2 addition to the i386 whitelist.
Feel free to bring an archive administrator in the loop, I think it's only
them who have the power to do that (if we want to go through that route).
Except that I just realized that rpm (and debugedit) in focal are in
universe. So it would also need a MIR, which is definitely not happening
for a stable release.
I also guess that's the reason debugedit was split off rpm.
So I suppose we either need to check whether backporting debugedit would
make it build on i386, or revert that change in debhelper.

Title:
debhelper in focal-backports not usable for i386 package building
(missing dependency)
Status in debhelper package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in debugedit package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
focal-backports contains debhelper 13.5.2ubuntu1~bpo20.04.1. This is
an architecture-independent package, but it depends on debugedit,
which is architecture-dependent.
The debugedit package exists in focal-universe for amd64, but not for
i386. As a result, Launchpad is not able to build PPA packages
targeting focal i386 that require debhelper-compat (= 13).
This would appear to be an oversight. It does not affect bionic,
hirsuite, impish, or jammy; all of these contain the debugedit:i386
package. (It was moved from universe to main at some point after
focal.)
