Package: strace
Followup-For: Bug #491167

It seems quite ridiculous to drag in a giant dependency like libc-amd64
when a large proportion of affected systems have no use for it.  Indeed,
the older systems with no use for are exactly those which are most
likely to be resource-constrained and so suffer unduly from dependency
bloat.

How about having an "strace64" package and making "strace" depend on it
only for the amd64 architecture?

Thanks,
