You cannot make the -dev package with binaries in /usr/bin multi-arch unless they are identical on all platforms (shell scripts that don't change, for example). You will need to either move the binaries into a separate package (and anything else that doesn't vary or is identical across all architectures) or leave the -dev package as not multi-arch. I wouldn't worry too much about -dev packages yet. The main push for wheezy is for just the shared library packages. > For Wheezy all libraries must be multi-arch enabled, right? No. It's an aspirational goal that almost certainly won't be reached in its entirety. There will be some remnant of non-multi-arch library packages in the wheezy release. > Then all other packages must be removed from testing before freeze, right?
