Hi Otto!

If you wanted to contact me, you should have put me in CC. I discovered this mail only accidentally.

Thank you for reviewing my package and giving feedback.

Do you have suggestions on how to fix this?

A patch would be best, but also a description on what to do is ok,

I'm not familiar with this package (and I don't have time to become familiar either), so I won't give you any concrete advice.

or at least pointers to Debian policy

Multi-arch is not documented in the policy yet; this is bug #687900.

or a listing of requirements that a possible fix has to meet, so I can take guidance from them on how to proceed with this.

If a package is marked as "Multi-Arch: same", it should be co-installable with itself. This is currently not the case because of the two files mentioned in my original mail:

Selecting previously unselected package libmariadbclient18:amd64.
Preparing to unpack .../libmariadbclient18_5.5.36-1_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking libmariadbclient18:amd64 (5.5.36-1) ...
Selecting previously unselected package libmariadbclient18:i386.
Preparing to unpack .../libmariadbclient18_5.5.36-1_i386.deb ...
Unpacking libmariadbclient18:i386 (5.5.36-1) ...
dpkg: error processing archive 
/var/cache/apt/archives/libmariadbclient18_5.5.36-1_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite shared '/usr/lib/mysql/plugin/dialog.so', which is 
different from other instances of package libmariadbclient18:i386
