I don't think the two proposed debdiffs here are correct for implementing multi-arch for gnome-keyring. While the plug-ins for gnome- keyring itself, and the pam module, could be built as multi-arch, it isn't necessary to do so. In fact, building the gnome-keyring plug-ins (currently in usr/lib/gnome-keyring/devel/*.so) into a Multi-Arch: same package, will result in a broken install if the :i386 package is installed on an x86_64 system, for example, as the gnome-keyring binary package is marked as foreign. Also, there are many non-arch-dependent files left in the gnome-keyring package, which are not installed in arch-dependent directories, resulting in file conflicts between the i386 and x86_64 versions of the package.

[Test case] Attempt to install both i386/amd64 versions and preferably verify if the reported applications in this bug are able to run successfully [Regression Potential] Minimal, several rdepends build testing have been completed successfully and nothing in the keyring code is attempting to dlopen any hardcoded library paths. gnome-keyring is still installing libraries to /usr/lib instead of the multarch compatible /usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH) directory. The attached patch does the conversion.
