Better metadata is on the way, via multiarch. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec Perhaps it would be beneficial to begin annotating some of these Multi-Arch: foreign packages so that dpkg-cross can make use of that information, independently of dpkg implementing support for co-installation of Multi-Arch: same library packages? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
