Package: nettle-dev
Version: 3.3-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Please transition nettle-dev to multi-arch so that multiple variants can be 
co-installed (eg. i386 & amd64)

It seems an attempt was already made to make the package multi-arch compatible 
in #783699, which removed the conflicts
stemming from a comment containing compiler information.
However, the GMP_NUMB_BITS preprocessor constant still triggers a conflict when 
trying to co-install the i386 & amd64 packages.

Maybe the constant could be removed/replaced with an error message as initially 
suggested?

Best regards,
François
