Yes, read-edid only gets build for i386 and powerpc (from its debian/changelog file).

FYI, the "get-edid | parse-edid" call fails on AMD64 running ubuntu x86, and maybe there's a similar problem in amd64 altogether, why it's deactivated?

$ sudo get-edid | parse-edid

The EDID data should not be trusted as the VBE call failed
Error: output block unchanged
parse-edid: IO error reading EDID

Attached is the full output for this command.
