I don't have much time to reply right now, but today, I wrote bug reports to ask for 32 bits removal of Ceph support on the 10 packages that had librbd or librados build-depends. So I agree...
I also don't have skills and time to reasonably build only libs for 32 bits. Contribs welcome...

Not entirely, though I did some work, diffing the 2, so that Debian and upstream packaging converges even more. At this point, IMO, I must invest some time on upstream packaging.
