I'm still not convinced ia32-libs-dev is a useful/sane thing to ship. Providing a working runtime environment for 32bit programs is one thing. Providing a build environment is another entirely, and the way it has to mangle .la files (and now .pc too) makes me wonder what other sort of brokenness it lets through. I probably won't object to this if the current breakage gets fixed though, because I'm getting tired of this package and would rather do something useful instead. alsa-plugins also build-depends on ia32-libs, does it need a fix for the new stuff too? what about libvdpau?
