It was probably done that way before Debian became true multi-arch. We had a similar thing in Gentoo, if you did `emerge skype`, that required 32-bit libraries, that on the "AMD64" architecture, were provided by packages in the app-emulation package. Debian (and Gentoo) have since moved to true multi-arch, and so such kludges are no longer required. However there are still probably packages floating around that still rely upon them. -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) I haven't lost my mind... ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere.
