Package: libgoogle-perftools-dev
Version: 2.5-2.2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Currently it is not possible to install both the i386 and the amd64
version of this package. My use case for this is that I develop a
program and build it for both platforms and want to profile both
versions.

When I have the amd64 version installed, apt will not let me install the
i386 version, and vice versa. I initially asked a question about this on
the Unix/Linux Stack Exchange:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/433101/37050

Apparently, the control file has to be changed to allow for this
situation. I do not know if there are technical reasons that this is
currently not possible, or that it is just an organisational matter.

Many thanks for your time.
If an update to the package in Stretch is possible that would be great,
but I don't know what the policies are.
