I would like to know: should we have the standard x86_64 glibc/lkh packages as i386 package like amd64-libs? I expect a future biarch (that provides x86_64 and i386 packages at the same time on the same machine) saves this problem. During DebConf5, Scott proposed dpkg filter mechanism, and Tollef proposed dpkg multiarch extension Features:. I think the approach "biarch mechanism in dpkg" is sane. But if the current biarch is not usable well, we should consider to support x86_64 glibc/lkh in the standard i386 package.
