I imagine you don't need to; you can emulate i586 on x86_64, and it would probably be performant enough.

But I suspect that's not really the hurdle: none of the existing Debian developers care enough about it to maintain it, and no one who cares about it enough about it is willing to maintain it.

Wouldn’t this be an unreliable CI though? I assume i586 and i686 cycle accurate emulators are hard to come by?
