I have an amd64 Debian but I had to install some i386 packages. I don't want to remove this foreign architecture, I just would like to hide it so that, for example, when I seach for libc in aptitude I don't see two entries:

...
v   glibc-2.19-1
v   glibc-2.19-1:i386
...

but only one entry for my proper architecture. Is there a way to do it? I found a lot on how to remove foreign architecture from dpkg, but I don't really want to do this, as I want to keep the i386 packages. I just want the packages lists to be clearer.

I also tried adding [amd64] after words deb`deb-srcin/etc/apt/sources.listand thesudo aptitude update`, but this also didn't help.

I don't know an configuration option to enable this by default, but while searching you can add ~rnative to show only packages from your native architecture. E.g.

aptitude search glibc~rnative
