Taking this to debian-dpkg for another round of discussion that will
not change anything on the 5 year old multirach proposal. The
multiarch proposal has not changed in the last 5 years going through 3
debconf talks and test implementations.
The design is such that multiarch packages remain 100% compatible to
even oldstable. If anything breaks that is a bug in the patch then and
needs to be rectified. So please do already test the patches even if
you don't want to upload them yet.
