Those are not the same. They are about documenting various aspects of multi-arch, not about stating whether multi-arch *should* or *must* be implemented by packages. For reference here are the multi-arch policy bugs that I could find: 621050 - Document dependencies needed to use multiarch paths Last updated 11 months ago 636383 - debian-policy: 10.2 and others: private libraries may also be multi-arch-ified Last updated over 4 years ago 650974 - Make Policy references to /usr/lib multiarch-aware Last updated over 4 years ago 684672 - document multiarch tuple definitions Last updated over 4 years ago 687900 - document multiarch Last updated 13 months ago 748380 - perl-policy: @INC changes for multiarch Last updated 19 months ago 749826 - debian-policy: [multiarch] please document the use of Multi-Arch field in debian/control Opened 23 months ago, never updated 759101 - Minor warning if "Multi-Arch: no" is used as it's the default Last updated 19 months ago 798309 - debian-policy: Adjustments to perl policy for multi-arch Last updated 4 months ago As for contributing I've tried to contribute to packages but so far the feed back I have gotten is mostly a whole lot of nothing (as is most often the case with Debian). So that's not very motivating. -- Francois Gouget <fgou...@free.fr> http://fgouget.free.fr/ Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Arthur C. Clarke
