Thanks for looking into this Simon,
I would hope you could reconsider.
Note libfuse (2) is not yet some weird obsolete package.
>From the link Jeremy provided, it would seem quite a few Ubuntu distributed packages are still using it.

So in this regard, continuing to provide the i386 variant for a while longer would seem reasonable.

This would only require from the Ubuntu's side to continue packaging
something is has been packaging for a very long while, and which it
continues hosting for all other architectures.

Title:
   i386: seed inclusion: libfuse-dev

Status in fuse package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix
Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  We need the i386 build of libfuse-dev which was present in 24.04 (noble)
  https://ubuntu-archive-team.ubuntu.com/germinate-output/i386.noble/i386+build-depends
  But which disappeared for 24.10 and 25.04
  https://ubuntu-archive-team.ubuntu.com/germinate-output/i386.oracular/i386+build-depends
  https://ubuntu-archive-team.ubuntu.com/germinate-output/i386.plucky/i386+build-depends
  (It seems to have been there before as a build dependency for e2fsprogs, which was removed now)

  Note libfuse2t64, as a dependency to libfuse-dev would also be needed.

  Background, for our particular use-case:
  A quite critical tool for us requires the 32bit version of libfuse-dev. This is used to provide FUSE mount access to a set of simulated embedded systems filesystems.
  As most of us running Ubuntu (in CI or locally) are still running the 24.04 LTS we did not realize of this package being missing in the latest versions until recently.
  But there is quite many users for this particular tool, as it is a key component for the Zephyr RTOS development.
  Note we need to build this tool both in its 32 and 64bit variants, as the 32bit variant is required to emulate 32bit embedded systems (which are the majority of embedded systems out there which Zephyr targets).

  I'm following the instructions from
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/i386#How_to_expand_i386_port_scope
  to request this package be (re-)added hoping it is still the right procedure.
