That is exactly correct.  Last night, I installed libgd2-xpm:amd64 which
replaces/removes libgd2-noxpm:amd64, before doing anything else.  This
leaves the 64-bit nginx packages intact, while pulling in
libgd2-xpm:i386 as a dependency of ia32-libs-i386.

While this is just one example of an unintended consequence of this
transition, I imagine there could be any number of other
removal/replacement situations, depending on the particular environment.
