It's been Multi-Arch: same all along, apart from three experimental-only
uploads back in 2010.  However, coinstallability requires exactly
matching *binary* package versions.  That isn't presently the case here
because fltk1.3 underwent a binNMU for the libpng1.6 transition on i386
(and most other architectures) but not x32, on which it had been waiting
for cmake and libasound-dev2 to be installable:

The sourceful upload I'm planning to issue to fix #828081 should bring
all architectures back in sync.  (I've been busy with other matters, but
plan to find time to address it in time for the freeze, or at least the
final release.)  Alternatively, I could ask for no-changes binNMUs to
bump binary versions as necessary, but there's the problem that some
experimental architectures (ppc64, sh4, and sparc64) wound up at +b2
because their +b1 runs accidentally still picked up an older libpng.

Thanks for the report, at any rate!
