You can't ever think of a situation where you might need 64 bit and 32 bit
versions of the same library? Not if you build everything 64bit clean from
scratch which debian can probably do for their base installation. But what
do you do if you want to install some precompiled application where source
code is not available, and you are sitting on a 64 bit machine, but it needs
32 bit versions of some of your libraries?
