It won't be possible to install a bootable trixie i386. At least for that combo (+ testing + unstable) we should fail early.

Big q: should we drop all code paths for i386?

Yeah good point, thanks for raising this.

Neither any of my customers nor myself use any actual i386 system any longer.

I don't think that we strictly need i386 support for our vision (like #311), like for VM images or alike?

+1 for dropping i386 support. Rationals: https://blog.grml.org/archives/416-grml32-sunset.html + https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/commit/a18e683900b4f5ffb30dd18b8481cbdc66e7a34a

Drop support for Debian's "i386" port

Debian stops supporting the "i386" port with trixie, and we have not
been testing it for a very long time. Also simplifies some code here.

Closes: #321
