Package: libfreetype6-dev
Version: 2.8-0.2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

The package libfreetype6-dev is still not multi-arch compatible.

In #666761, you stated that you will not accept patches that remove freetype-
config, as the interface is used by reverse dependencies.

This is no longer the case. I have examined all 41 reverse dependencies and
none of them use freetype-config anymore.

Please remove this interface from the package, so that we can move forward with
marking libfreetype6-dev as Multi-Arch: same.

Also, freetype2/freetype/config/ftconfig.h conflicts between arches and will
need a resolution. Matthias Klose suggested one possible patch in #666761.
