Public bug reported:

See https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/847

Ideally the jockey-common:i386 and jockey-common:amd64 packages should provide 
the jockey-common virtual package name.
This would be similar to what is happening with the wine virtual package, and 
wine-bin:i386 + wine64-bin:amd64.

The problem arises because steam is a 32-bit package, but on amd64 it
requires jockey-common:amd64, and that's not possible with debs as of
now [cite: johnv-valve from the link above].

Then Steam could recommend the jockey-common virtual package. 
This is important for us on other distro, like Debian, where jockey-common is 
not available.
