I would be happy to help sponsoring, but I see another problem: the
package is listed only amd64 in buildd's Packages-arch-specific file
[1].
So It will not be picked up for i386 and therefore it will not work.

As a workaround I've searched if there is a clean way to do a mixed-arch
upload (i386+amd64) but I found nothing, so you should ask Bastian Blank
(in cc) who did a mixed upload for ia32-libs version 20120616 [2]
