I am in favor of moving the man pages out of the multiarch library package and into either libpam-doc or libpam-modules-bin. I don't have any strong opinions between that choice of packages. Putting anything other than the minimum required and ideally all multiarch-aware files into the packages intended to be coinstalled in a multiarch situation is asking for trouble, IMO. Those packages should be as minimal as possible to deliver their functionality, for exactly the reasons you describe. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
