The way multilib works is that mash will get all the *-devel packages
from i686 and add them to the x86_64 repository, along with all their
dependencies.

In your case, you apitrace package doesn't generate any -devel
subpackage.

If it did, mash would include it for multilib, and as the -devel
packages usually depend on the -libs package, the -libs would also get
included.
