Please cc me on replies as I am not presently subscribed to debian-devel. I would like to do multiarch conversion for the icu packages. I understand the concept and the implementation, and I have looked at http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Implementation. One issue not covered is what to do if your package already builds 32-bit libraries on a 64-bit system by building 32-bit explicitly and packaging as lib32whatever. The ICU source package creates lib32icu-dev and lib32icu48 on amd64, ppc64, and kfreebsd-amd64. Do I just stop doing this and let packages that build depend on lib32icu-dev just stop doing it, or is there some kind of transitional package that I should create? Anyway it would be nice if the wiki page were explicit about this. I could certainly just stop doing it and let packages that have this build dependency FTBFS until they do whatever changes they need to do, but I'm not sure whether a precedent or convention has been established. Thanks.
