It's still not clear to me how we should install ia32 libs on amd64 systems.
If I try to install a 32b library, sometimes it will try to overwrite an
amd64, sometimes not. Pinning is the right choice? For instance, libasound,
etc. The 32b libraries will be installed correctly on /emul/ia32? Is there
any howto to solve this problems? For now, I'm still using ia32-libs and
ia32-libs-gtk from testing to keep things like skype and firefox 3.5
working.
