** Description changed:

+ =======
+ This is a feature freeze exception for elfutils in precise:
+ =======
+ 
  The current elfutils (0.152-1ubuntu2) in precise does not have Multi-
  Arch support, so if the 32-bit lib is needed on a 64-bit system, it
  cannot be installed via libelf1:i386.
  
- There's a current bug report open with debian (debian bug #657139) with
- a patch that seems close but needs some tweaking.
- 
  This is necessary for some older 32-bit apps we'll need to run once
  precise is out that depend on the 32-bit version of libelf.so.1.
  
- Thanks and please let me know if I can provide any other info.
+ This is also a blocker for cross-compiling kernel. As kernel is the most
+ often cross-compiled piece of software, it would be rather important to
+ get it working out-of-box in precise.
+ 
+ Minimal patch to add multi-arch support attached in the first message. While 
this creates a divergence from Debian, there is nothing "special" in the patch 
that needs
+ preserving once synchronizing with Debian next time. It can be simply 
replaced with the Debian package for precise + 1.
