Strongswan is not in the i386 whitelist but triggers tests

The issue reproduces in autopkgtest:
$ sudo ~/work/autopkgtest/autopkgtest/runner/autopkgtest --no-built-binaries
--apt-upgrade --apt-pocket=proposed=src:re2c --setup-commands="dpkg
--add-architecture i386; apt-get update" --shell-fail -a i386
strongswan_5.8.2-1ubuntu1.dsc -- qemu --qemu-options='-cpu host'
--ram-size=2048 --cpus 2 ~/work/autopkgtest-focal-amd64.img

But it makes no sense, if you check in there:

ubuntu@autopkgtest:~$ dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
i386
ubuntu@autopkgtest:~$ dpkg --print-architecture
amd64

And listed by
ubuntu@autopkgtest:~$ apt-cache policy strongswan
strongswan:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 5.8.1-1ubuntu1
  Version table:
     5.8.2-1ubuntu1 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-proposed/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-proposed/main i386 Packages
     5.8.1-1ubuntu1 990
        990 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages
        990 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main i386 Packages

But still it can't find/install it:
ubuntu@autopkgtest:~$ sudo apt-get install strongswan:i386
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package strongswan:i386

So far so good, but why does it then trigger and fail on the i386 test?
http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/s/strongswan/focal/i386

Because from d/control:
Package: strongswan
Architecture: all

But it is not just all being Arch:all it also happens to
Package: strongswan-pki
Architecture: any

And per https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2019-December/040859.html
it isn't part of the whitelist.
So I'd expect the test to just "not run".

For now ignore it at least on the current version.
