Install any binaries in /usr/bin in a separate package (e.g. libfoo-bin or libfoo-utils). You can then safely mark your -dev package as multi-arch: same. > For Wheezy all libraries must be multi-arch enabled, right? > Then all other packages must be removed from testing before freeze, right? While multi-arch is a wheezy release goal, I've never heard that libraries not converted to multi-arch will not be accepted into wheezy. I think it's simply a best-effort approach right now; try to convert as many packages to multi-arch as possible (especially libraries with a long string of reverse build dependencies). I don't think it's realistic to expect every library package to be converted to multi-arch before the freeze takes place.
