Hi there.
Looking at advances in storage that are on the horizon coupled with
advances with processing power, it would appear that "something
wonderful" is on the horizon.
It will be possible to build an entire Debian distribution in a matter
of minutes.
This capability requires no changes

Why do we need an init as essential anyway? It is used in all real

Hi,
now that a multiarch dpkg has been uploaded to experimental it looks
like we can finaly get rid of ia32-libs* for wheezy.
!!!HURAY!!!
The problem now is the transition:
1) multiarch and ia32-libs are incompatible
Having multiarch packages and ia32-libs installed will lead to some
confusion
