we do not have arm64 rootfs images for touch yet and not all packages
compile cleanly on that arch to even build these images, so going
through the archive and fixing all packages build failures would be a
prerequisite ...

... then, if you want to support 32bit binaries from the store on such
an arm64 install you would have to additionally install all of the 32bit
framework libs by using multiarch (essentially Qt and all its
dependencies as well as all Ubuntu framework bits that sit on top of
it), which would grow the rootfs image massively (most likely making the
img exhaust the space we have available for flashing in the cache
partition)

i think the only feasible option currently would be to have a 64bit
container with a plain 32bit rootfs and make sure to have the necessary
translation bits added to hybris.
