The set of backends installed can and does differ between architectures,
so libsane-common does not qualify for arch: any.

I haven't decided yet how I'm going to handle this wrt full
multiarch. The current solution is OK for architectures of the same
family (i386/amd64, mips/mipsel, etc) and allows us to get rid of
ia32-libs.

Unfortunately there isn't even a (meaningful & useful) common core that
is guaranteed to be available on all architectures (hurd-i386 screws
that up pretty badly).

There are a number of potential adjustments to be made once it'll be
possible to try out the packages in a real multiarch setting; there are
quite a number of dependencies and I don't think they have all
transitioned to multiarch yet.

Wait & see.

JB.
